LAS VEGAS, Nev. — A 25-year-old man who attacked Clark County jail guards with a baseball bat was sentenced Monday to a three-to-10-year prison term.

Law told detectives he was seeking revenge because police failed to thoroughly investigate when he was robbed, according to a Las Vegas police report.
