Just 36 hours after a suicide watch was lifted on assistant US Attorney John D.R. Atchison he tried to hang himself with a sheet in his jail cell.

Atchison is the assistant prosecutor from the western district of Florida who allegedly flew to Detroit in order to have sex with a five year old girl.

One of the other inmates notified guards he was trying to hang himself and he was rescued before hurting himself.

US Marshals have moved him to a different jail since that incident.

The sad part, apart from this man having a penchant for sex with little girls, is he is married and the father of three children. He was active in his community and has brought disgrace upon his wife and family for something they didn’t do.
