FARMINGTON, N.M. (KRQE) - A message registered loud and clear for the officials who run the prison in Farmington; do not run out of milk
When the prison ran out of milk this weekend it caused chaos.
Maximum security inmates were angered when milk ran short during breakfast at San Juan County Jail and began refusing to obey orders.
Some started yelling at jail guards.
Officers were forced to shoot tear gas.
Local and state police also called to help jailers control the situation.
Jail officials say all the inmates got their allotted 20 ounces of milk, but there was not enough Saturday for every inmate to get seconds.
