Now We Know Why He Chose Not to Appear In the First Place
When inmate Darryl R. Bartlett--jailed in Arkansas on a failure-to-appear warrant--was suffering from a cold, he asked guard Johnnie Dallas Pruett for some cold medication. What he got instead were three laxative pills that caused severe stomach pains and, of course, diarrhea. Meanwhile, Pruett taunted him all night, asking if he needed a diaper. Pruett was fired for the incident and charged with battery. Sheriff's Capt. Jamie Martin said Pruett's prank was "a shitty thing to do, even to a prisoner." Source
