CHESTER COUNTY, Tenn. — A Madison County inmate is recovering after trying to hang himself in the Chester County jail. According to Chester County Sheriff Blair Weaver, he agreed to house Corinthian Person in Chester County right after his Jackson City Court appearance on a count of aggravated robbery last Thursday. The sheriff says Person began acting strangely Friday and was put on suicide watch. Friday evening, jailers say Person used his shirt to try to hang himself. He was taken to a Jackson hospital and returned to the custody of Madison County. However, a Madison County sheriff’s spokesperson says they have no comment on the incident or Person’s condition.
