An inmate held on a murder charge at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga made a violent attempt to stab another inmate and a deputy this week, officials revealed on Thursday, June 13.
The incident occurred on Tuesday, June 11, when 25-year-old Christopher Lommie Jackson, a San Bernardino resident, reportedly armed himself with a makeshift metal knife crafted within the jail.

Footage from the sheriff’s department depicted Jackson knocking the 45-year-old deputy to the ground, while other deputies swiftly intervened to prevent further harm.
