Disturbance at Paulding County, Georgia Regional Youth Detention Center

Two 17 year olds were taken into custody by Sheriff’s deputies late Friday after a disturbance at the Paulding County Georgia Regional Youth Detention Center, according to local authorities. The county Sheriff’s Department was called by officials at the YDC, a privately run facility northwest of Atlanta, to help quell the disturbance. The Dallas-Hiram Patch, quoted Sgt. Brandon Gurley of the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office as saying a "large number" were found outside their assigned areas. “They were causing a disturbance, there was a good bit of damage already on site — flooding, windows broken and things of that nature,” Gurley said.
