Spencer County Jailer Darrell Herndon admits that last Wednesday could have easily been his last day on earth, but he believes that God must not be quite finished with him yet. Herndon found himself in a frightening situation shortly after 4 p.m. when transporting a 17-year-old juvenile male to the Lincoln Village Detention Center. The juvenile subdued Herndon and got his weapon in an attempt to escape, authorities said.
