Sheriff: Rubashkin Involved in Fight with Another Inmate

-
The former manager of the Agriprocessors meatpacking plant in Postville has been moved to an individual cell at the Linn County Jail after getting into a scuffle with another inmate.

Linn County Sheriff Brian Gardner said Rubashkin and a fellow inmate were arguing over the volume level on a television Tuesday night, and their verbal disagreement turned physical.The incident occurred in a common area in the cell block both men shared, Gardner said.

Both inmates were put in cells by themselves until a hearing officer at the jail can determine if the inmates should face further punishment, Gardner said.

Rubashkin is being held in the Linn County Jail as part of a contract between the county and the United States Marshals Service to hold federal prisoners.

VIN News Reports: "VIN News confirmed again that no anti-semtic remarks were made against Mr. Rubashkin, this was simply a push and shove incident with another inmate."
