Harry Hale used a bedsheet to hang himself, Sheriff Reed Kelly said. A jailer found him and, with the help of other inmates, managed to lower Hale down.
Kelly said Hale suffered no permanent damage from the attempted suicide. A hospital nursing supervisor said Hale's family had asked that no information be released on his condition.
Hale was in jail serving a 30-day sentence for third offense petty larceny, Kelly said.
