Ross County prosecutors say a Ross Correctional Institution inmate was strangled last week while riding in a transport van with other prisoners and guards. 61-year-old David Johnson was being transported from a Columbus medical facility. He was serving an eight-year sentence for sexual battery. The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction has declined comment, and referred questions to the Ohio Highway Patrol.
