DALE COUNTY: On Saturday, October 17th, Dale County Jail  correctional officers requested emergency assistance in reference to an armed assault on a correctional officer by an inmate.


As a correctional officer exited the special housing cell block an inmate, unprovoked,  attacked the correctional officer with an improvised “shank”. The inmate repeatedly struck the correctional officer until the officer was able to free himself and isolate the inmate back inside the cell block. The inmate then initiated another physical altercation with an inmate inside the cell block. That inmate received moderate injuries and was transported to Dale Medical Center.


The correctional officer also received injuries and was transported to Dale Medical Center where he was treated and released. 


DCSO Investigators have charged Inmate Chad Brogden with (2) counts of Attempted Murder. Brogden is currently in jail awaiting trial for Murder.


We were assisted by the Ozark Police Department, Ozark Fire/EMS  and ALEA’s Highway Patrol Division.
