HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A female inmate who was injured inside the Reno County Correctional Facility back in August now faces new charges.

Realiti Courson has been charged with criminal threat from that incident in the jail. She’s also charged with interference with a law enforcement officer. She allegedly made a threat against one of the deputies and also failed to follow orders during that incident back on Aug. 21.

Apparently, there was some dispute between Courson and jailers. The defense claims the guards at the jail used excessive force when they fired a non-lethal weapon using what is called Star Light ammo.

The state contends she didn’t follow rules in the jail and was bullying and threatening other inmates and staff. She refused to comply with the officers’ commands and was placed in solitary. In that room, she allegedly covered up a security camera. They fired the weapon twice in an effort to get her to comply with their commands. After they discovered she actually suffered a wound, she was taken for medical treatment and had surgery to remove the ammo they fired.

With the state filing charges in the case, Courson will be back in court on Oct. 30.
