BLADEN COUNTY, N.C. (WWAY) - A murder suspect and his alleged victim wound up in the same jail cell this week in Bladen County. Last February, 27-year-old Eric Bennett was charged with attempted murder. On Wednesday, one of his alleged victims, 39-year-old, Shawn Melvin, was arrested for failure to appear in court, failure to pay child support and driving with a revoked license. 

Melvin was placed in the same jail cell with Bennett by a jailer who was not aware of their history.  The jailer said that when he put Melvin in the cell, he immediately attacked Bennett who was later taken to the hospital and treated for a laceration on his head.

Someone screwed up.  :mental:
