It was "Jeopardy!" vs. the Discovery Channel as two Racine County jail inmates got into a shoving match after one of them changed the channels on the TV.
Two Racine County Jail inmates have been charged with disorderly conduct after getting into a fight over the TV game show "Jeopardy!"
Jesse A. Cortez, 47, and Allen A. Flowers, 21, began arguing with each other in a day room at the jail after Cortez changed the channel from “Jeopardy,” which Flowers had wanted to watch, according to the criminal complaint.
Cortez told police he didn’t notice Flowers was watching TV and switched the station to the Discovery Channel in the April 2 incident, the complaint said.
