McCleve to receive a preliminary hearing date.The two were detained by SWAT team members after a "sting ball" grenade was tossed into the area. The two are accused of breaking windows in the 12-cell maximum-security unit and of smashing in a television set.
Jolivet is serving five sentences for aggravated kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault, rape, aggravated robbery and forcible sodomy. VanZyverden is serving a sentence for second-degree robbery.
The two have refused court-appointed lawyers and are expected to represent themselves or obtain their own attorneys, a court clerk said.
