TIPTON, Mo. (AP) _ Some inmates at a mid-Missouri correctional institution
refused to go back to their housing units overnight Wednesday before the
situation was brought under control.
Missouri Department of Corrections spokeswoman Karen Pojmann says no one was
injured during the disturbance at the Tipton Correctional Center.
She says between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. Wednesday some inmates refused to return to
their housing units after recreation time. Disturbances were reported in three
housing units but Pojmann says significant damage such as broken windows was
found in only one of the units.
The situation was under control around 5:30 a.m. Thursday.
