May 15, 2023
Gouverneur, NY – A 46-year-old inmate serving his second prison sentence, recently assaulted multiple officers at the maximum-security facility.
On May 4th, the inmate was being escorted by two officers when, without provocation, the inmate punched one of the officers in the head. The inmate then attacked the second officer, elbowing him in his head and punching him in the chest. That officer fell backwards and hit his head on a door jam. Two nearby officers immediately responded to the scene and aided the officers in getting the inmate to the ground. Though still combative while on the floor, the inmate was handcuffed and complied.  FULL PRESS RELEASE
