ADA, Okla. (AP) - The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said this week it is looking into the death of an inmate who died after a fight with another inmate at the Pontotoc County Jail .
The agency announced in a press release late Wednesday that a felony assault charge has been filed against 22-year-old Kalup Born and that additional charges are possible.
Investigators say 42-year-old Billy Joe Johnson was severely injured after an altercation with Born earlier this month and died last weekend from his injuries.
