2 Attacks Latest In Violence at Pr. George's Jail

Although Cinar reported feeling dizzy, corrections supervisors did not summon paramedics, according to a jail employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the source has not been authorized to speak publicly. According to the jail's protocols, all supervisors in the chain of command, including acting Director Mary Lou McDonough, should have been made aware that an officer had been injured in a fight, the source said.

Instead of receiving medical attention, Cinar lay on a table for about two hours, the jail employee said. Later, a fellow officer drove Cinar to a hospital, the source said.

The county fire department's records show no evidence that a corrections officer was transported from the jail to a hospital Nov. 1 or 2.

A law enforcement source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Payton is awaiting trial, said Cinar was treated and released from Prince George's Hospital Center.

On Nov. 4, three days after the attack, relatives found Cinar unconscious and unresponsive in his Montgomery County home, the law enforcement source said. Cinar was taken to Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, where he was admitted to the intensive care unit in critical condition, the source said.

Cinar was released from Suburban Hospital on Nov. 14, according to hospital records.

Efforts to reach Cinar and his relatives were unsuccessful.

On Nov. 18, three weeks after Cinar was attacked, one inmate stabbed another in the H-6 housing unit, a lockdown section. In a lockdown unit, inmates are supposed to be confined to their cells 23 hours a day, and only one inmate at a time is supposed to be in the section's common area.

According to police charging documents, Robert Hilton, 21, of the District stabbed fellow inmate Anthony L. Green, 22, of Hyattsville during a fight in the cellblock.

"During the fight the suspect pulled out a piece of metal and stabbed the victim in the back and in the head," according to the charging document, which accuses Hilton of first- and second-degree assault.

Green and Hilton were arguing. One of the inmates disabled the lock on his cell and went after the other. It was not clear who left his cell and who was in the common area when the fight started.

Green was taken to Prince George's Hospital Center, where he was treated and released, according to the charging document.
