Mother says son was stabbed 15 times inside of Shelby County Jail
SUMMARY: A Memphis mother, Tasha Flowers, is demanding answers after her son, Devon, was reportedly stabbed 15 times by fellow inmates at the 201 Popper jail. Devon, who has been incarcerated for nearly two years on serious charges, has communicated his concerns about safety, claiming he cannot sleep due to fears of attacks. Flowers is struggling to gather the $10,000 needed for his bail, fearing that the violence may continue before he makes it to trial. The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office has stated the incident is under investigation and cannot comment further.
An outraged Memphis mother spoke to FOX13, claiming her son was stabbed more than a dozen times inside of the Shelby County Jail at 201 Poplar.
“He was stabbed 15 times. Couldn’t nobody call, contact me, and let me know my son was in critical condition? You got to be in critical condition to be stabbed 15 times,” said Tasha Flower, mother of Devon Flowers.
The mother said she only found out about the stabbing after her son recovered enough to write her a letter. READ MORE: https://www.fox13memphis.com/news/mother-says-son-was-stabbed-15-times-inside-of-shelby-county-jail/article_e827c250-a78a-11ef-955a-67493778a92c.html
