(Stillwater, Okla.) — A convicted rapist, who was listed as homeless in Stillwater, has been given a two-year prison term for hitting a Payne County jailer in the groin with his knee and biting him on the arm.
Ronald Lee Mishion, 41, pleaded guilty last week to that felony count as well as threatening to kill another jailer when he got out, for which he was given a concurrent six-month jail term by District Judge Phillip Corley.
The day before those incidents, Mishion had been jailed on a separate count of threatening a violent act in Stillwater, which he also admitted last week when he was given another concurrent six-month jail term.
Payne County Sheriff’s Detention Sgt. Treyton Keeling wrote in an affidavit that when he started his March 22 shift at 7:30 pm, “I was made aware by Sgt. Wil Anderson that inmate Ronald Lee Mishion had been involved with an assault on staff,” by kicking and biting.
After Mishion was taken out of a restraint chair and put in handcuffs to be escorted to his housing unit, while officers were trying to remove his handcuffs Mishion refused to give them up, turned toward a jailer, and “made threats to shoot him with his ‘AK gun’ once he got out of the jail,” the affidavit said.
“After reviewing body-worn camera from officers, I observed Ronald threaten to assault officers once he got out of disciplinary housing. He also threatened to shoot officers with his gun, and stated he would wait for them outside of the jail.
“Ronald also threatened to spit and punch (a jailer) while being secured in the restraint chair. I asked (another jailer) to show me the spot where Ronald had bitten him. I observed a red-like mark in the shape of teeth that resembled a bite mark,” the sergeant wrote in his affidavit.
According to state Department of Corrections records, Mishion had been convicted in 2007 of three counts of first-degree rape in 2006 in Oklahoma County and given three concurrent 20-year prison terms. DOC records did not indicate when Mishion was released from prison.
