The county sheriff's office said in a news release on Monday that Shannon Stillwell had been stabbed multiple times on Sunday night and that his condition was stable. According to the sheriff's office, during a fight between the two men who were housed in the same zone, Stillwell was stabbed by Willie Brown, another prisoner. According to the release, there was no known reason for the fight.
