The Arizona Department of Corrections released shocking security footage from a hostage situation where an inmate held a prison employee at knifepoint.
Timothy Monk, took a male library employee hostage at Lewis prison using a prison-made blade. Monk waits until the library door is closed and he is left alone with the library employee before reaching for the weapon from his shoe and grabbing the employee.
Authorities negotiated with Monk and used a flash bang to enter the room. Officers used less-than-lethal force and took him into custody.
