COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
An inmate who was previously held at a Jefferson City prison has been accused of raping another inmate in October 2023.
Michael Sheets, 41, was charged on Friday with first-degree sodomy in Cole County. He has since been moved to a Springfield facility. A court appearance is scheduled for 9 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 29.
The probable cause statement says Sheets entered the victim’s cell on Oct. 8, 2023, at Algoa Correctional Center and raped the victim while they slept.
Court records say Sheets had pleaded guilty to drug possession on Dec. 16, 2021, in Taney County.
He was sentenced to five years of probation, but the probation was revoked on Aug. 3, 2022 and was ordered to serve five years in prison.
