SMITH Chronide Staff Writer Five inmates have committed sui cide inside the Forsyth County Jail since 1985 and while that is an unfortunate statistic, it is one that the sheriff and jail ers can't do much about, said E. Preston Oldham. Raymond Spaugh, Dec. 2, 1985; Waller Watson, Aug. 7, 1986; Thomas Douthit, Aug. 30, 1986; and Todd Hand in December 11, 1989, all killed them selves while in custody in the county facility..However, the suicide that.once__ again made the local jail the target of criticisms of mismanagement was that of Richard Hayes on March 19,1990.
