SUTTON -- An inmate at the Palmer Correctional Center killed himself Thursday afternoon, according to Alaska State Troopers.

Troopers responded to the facility about 4:30 p.m. and found that Willow resident Anthony Lee Willis, 47, hanged himself while in his cell, troopers said. There was no sign of foul play, according to troopers.

Court records indicate Willis was being held on misdemeanor domestic violence assault and interfering with a report of a domestic violence crime. His bail had been set at $2,500.

Troopers say the state medical examiner responded to the scene and Willis' family was notified.
