CLAY MAN HANGS SELF AT CENTRAL REGIONAL JAIL

(12/17/2008)
Correctional officers at Central Regional Jail discovered an inmate hanging in his cell last Friday during routine rounds.

Police said the man was from Clay County, identified as Jody Lee Miller, 37, of Wallback.

Miller apparently used bed linens to commit suicide.

Staff members attempted to revive the man.

Trooper J.P. Drake said the deceased was originally charged with operating a clandestine drug laboratory.

Most recently he was returned to the local facility on a warrant from the state of Georgia regarding escape charges.
