    According to Cuyahoga County, a jail guard opened De'Lawnte Hardy's cell Saturday night to let him take a shower.

    That's when Hardy ran out of his cell.

    Officials say guards quickly stopped him, and there was a brief struggle and pepper spray was used on him.

    Hardy was treated and returned to his cell.

    One guard was injured in the fight.

    No further information has been released.
