Jail Inmate Attempts Escape, Harms Private Investigator

Police say a Douglas County Jail inmate tried to escape Thursday by assaulting a defense attorney’s private investigator and climbing into the crawl space in the ceiling.

The investigator was meeting with Karl Paul Volosin, 28, in an interview room at the jail when Volosin climbed up the Plexiglas barrier between himself and the interviewer around 3 p.m., according to a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office press release.

Volosin then allegedly assaulted the investigator and climbed up the window and into the crawl space above the ceiling tiles.
