WEATHERFORD, TEXAS - Authorities say several inmates at a Texas jail broke out of a holding cell to help save an armed guard after they saw him lose consciousness. At least eight inmates were in a basement holding cell when the lone guard slumped and fell. Inmates yelled for help, broke out of the cell and banged on doors. Sheriff’s deputies rushed to the basement, corralled the inmates back into the cell and summoned paramedics, who revived the guard. Mark Arnett cited the inmates’ quick response, saying 15 minutes could have passed before a staff member found the guard.
