Man crashes vehicle into Cache County Jail

LOGAN, Utah, March 16, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — A man drove his vehicle into a wall of the Cache County Jail early Friday morning after experiencing a medical event.

Kenneth Romine, 49, of Logan, was operating his vehicle in the jail parking lot, according to a Facebook post from the Cache County Sheriff’s Office.

When Romine had the unidentified medical emergency, he drove through the security fence and crashed into the wall, CCSO stated.

Deputies were able to talk with the man, and “he was taken to a hospital in stable condition for further evaluation,” the post says.

The vehicle extensively damaged sections of the fence but left no damage to the wall.

“The safety and security of our staff and inmates are a top priority. The design of the fence and the building served their purpose that not even the inmates on the other side of the wall woke up,” Cache County Sheriff Chad Jensen stated in the post.

Concrete barricades and a temporary fence have been installed until the security fence can be replaced. The CCSO said the crash posed no security concerns.
