Update: Several agencies respond to jail riot in Johson County

Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Henry County Sheriff’s Office, assisted in ending a riot that broke out late Thursday night at the Johnson County Jail in Centerview, Missouri.

The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office posted to its Facebook page around 10:30 p.m. Thursday that a riot began in one of the pods and the office had requested assistance from neighboring counties and the Missouri State Highway Patrol. At that time the inmates were contained inside the building.

Less than two hours later, the office posted an update at 12:15 a.m. notifying the public the riot had been resolved.
