Jail inmate threatens judge, refuses to wear clothes
By KVAL Web Staff
Check that: another turn for the weird. On Monday, he threatened a judge, who subsequently removed himself from the case. These are the latest turns in a turbulent story. You may recall Volosin, accused of eluding police after a chase south of Roseburg last summer only to be found hiding in a closet. He fled the law again in December, this time swimming downstream in a creek and hiding under a porch. Once apprehended and charged, he told a judge he wanted to plead guilty to a litany of charges -- against the advice of an attorney. He later decided to work with the attorney, but only long enough to climb over the Plexiglas and assault a private investigator hired by his own attorney, according to county jail officials. That story ended when Volosin climbed into the space above the ceiling tiles in a not-so-great escape. He was loose long enough for two smaller stature police officers to climb up and remove him from the ceiling, investigators said. The attorney quit the case. Which brings us to Monday. Volosin was in Judge George Ambrosini's courtroom with his new attorney. Volosin threatened the judge, and then Ambrosini recused himself from the case. Judge Ronald Poole will now take over. Meanwhile, a new charge has been added to the laundry list against Volosin, this charge for allegedly destroying a suicide watch vest in the jail. Volosin might be trying to make nice with his jailers now: on Tuesday, he refused to wear clothes in the jail. |
