Inmate Cuts Officer’s Face with Weapon
Cayuga, NY – An officer was slashed three times across the face by an inmate who had barricaded himself in his cell at the medium security correctional facility last week.
On Sunday, October 16, an officer on routine rounds noticed an inmate had his cell window covered up. The officer ordered the inmate to remove the covering but he did not respond to several commands. Additional staff were called to the cell and a supervisor again ordered the inmate to remove the covering. Again, staff received no response from the inmate. FULL PRESS RELEASE
