A Salt Lake County jail inmate — accused of allegedly killing an exchange student at the University of Utah — has reportedly been making weapons in his cell and hiding them well enough to get them past the jail’s full-body scanner.
Austin Boutain, 24, was taken to the hospital for an X-ray after he told jail staff that he had a metal weapon.
Boutain was accused of fatally shooting ChenWei Guo in the foothills behind the University of Utah, setting off a 14-hour manhunt before his Oct. 31 arrest at the Salt Lake City Main Library.
