OFFICER DOWN Three weeks into Stonney Lane's stint as Prison Warden, a maximum-security prisoner took an officer hostage on the 2nd floor. The inmate jumped Officer Gunter while being unshackled for daily exercise and was soon holding a knife to Gunter's neck. Another inmate was holding a 9mm gun and they were demanding to speak with the new Warden. While buying time "negotiating" with the prisoners, the Warden's team plotted to free their colleague. Eight more inmates sawed out of their 2nd floor cellblocks, but by afternoon the guards had stormed the walk with 12-gauge shotguns and 38-caliber pistols. Two inmates were injured, but Officer Gunter walked away unharmed. In the end, there was no 9mm gun - just a bar of soap in the shape of a gun, covered in shoe polish.
