When questioned, Forrester allegedly admitted to becoming angry with his grandfather and struck him several times. He was then arrested and taken to jail without incident.
According to a recent incident report two days later, inmates were threatening to beat Forrester for spitting on the floor of the pod. As the jailer moved Forrester to another cell, the report says Forrester was caught on camera throwing his bedding down and hitting the officer in the back of the head.
The officer went to get a taser, and Forrester shut the jail cell door. When the officer opened the door, Forrester charged him at which point the taser was employed and Forrester surrendered. The surrender was short lived, however. Forrester pulled the lead wires off and began running to another room and shutting the door behind him. Five more officers came to the jailer’s assistance, and Forrester was subdued.
He is expected to answer to the charges later in Baxter County Circuit Court.
