PINEVILLE, Mo. (AP) -- A 27-year-old man died in jail in McDonald County in what the sheriff's office called a suicide.

The sheriff's office said Jackson Teague of Pineville was found dead in his cell by a jailer at 7 a.m. Wednesday.

Authorities said he had used a sheet to make a noose and hanged himself from a window bar by sitting down.

Teague had been booked into jail Tuesday night on a charge of second degree domestic assault against his sister.
