Inmates aid deputy under attack

[Starbucks Anarchist]

TAMPA - The detention deputy was sitting at his desk when the inmate attacked. The deputy is 64; the inmate is 40 years his junior.

Deputy Kenneth Moon had another disadvantage: He was the sole deputy in a pod that houses 62 inmates at Orient Road Jail. The only nearby people who could help him were there because they have been charged with attempted murder, home invasion, drug dealing.

And yet they did.

The first one, Jerry Dieguez Jr., is in jail on an armed home invasion charge. When he saw inmate Douglas Burden put Moon in a chokehold, Dieguez didn't hesitate, authorities say.

He ran behind the desk and landed a haymaker of a punch on Burden.
