Whitson, who was facing a battery charge, was being escorted to Hendricks Circuit Court in Danville when the incident occurred. He and two officers from the Sugar Creek Juvenile Justice Center in Ladoga had just gotten off the third-floor elevator when the teen ran about 20 feet to the railing and leaped over, Yetter said.

The teen was handcuffed and wearing leg shackles. Yetter said it seemed as if the officers followed proper procedures. He didn’t expect any procedures would change because of the incident.

Maybe they should add “keep a little better grip on them so they can’t toss themselves over the damn edge” to those procedures.
