BISMARCK, N.D. — A North Dakota inmate was not afraid of making a spectacle of himself when he grabbed another suspect’s glasses and started to eat them.
Burleigh County Sheriff’s Maj. Les Witkowski said the 42-year- old inmate at the county detention center became frustrated Aug. 1 when he was not able to talk to the chaplain, so he swallowed both lenses and a piece of the metal frame.
Witkowski said the inmate was taken to a hospital emergency room but was returned to jail after doctors determined he was okay.
