Texas: A tragic incident unfolded at the Ellis County Detention Center. A corrections officer named Isaiah Bias was killed by an inmate during a routine escort.
Bias, just 28 years old, was leading 45-year-old Arron Thompson back to his cell when the attack happened. Thompson had been in solitary confinement for serious charges, including assaulting a public servant.
According to the sheriff, while Bias was doing his job, Thompson suddenly attacked him. It was brutal. He punched Bias, knocked him down, and then choked him while beating him. It’s just heartbreaking.
After the assault, Thompson casually walked away and sat down at a table, leaving Bias in a pool of blood. Now, he’s facing capital murder charges and has a hefty bond set at $2 million.
The sheriff didn’t hold back, calling Thompson “pure evil.” He expressed how most officers deal with good people having bad days, but sometimes they face real danger from those who are truly harmful.
Texas Rangers are now investigating this horrific event. The sheriff hopes for the death penalty if Thompson is convicted. It’s a tough situation, especially since Bias had just become an uncle that same week.
Norman, who knew Bias since he was a teenager, described the murder as heinous and unnecessary. He emphasized that Bias had dreams of being in law enforcement and was dedicated to his job.
