Weatherford, Texas - A Texas jailer is alive after an unlikely group of good Samaritans acted quickly, risking their own security in order to help - him.
At least eight prisoners were behind a locked door in a holding cell located in the building’s basement. The lone guard assigned to monitor the group had been joking and conversing with the inmates when all of a sudden, he slumped over.
“He just fell over,” inmate Nick Kelton told WFAA Thursday. “Looked like an act. Could have died right there.”
Realizing that the man had an apparent heart attack, Kelton and the other inmates cried out for help. They eventually made the risky decision to break out of the holding cell, fully aware of the potential danger.
“We were worried they’re going to come with guns drawn on us,” Kelton said.
