On July 17, at about 1800 hours, Inmate Christian (BB8099) attempted to murder a correctional officer at Mule Creek State Prison. Christian ran towards officer and despite several orders to stop, the inmate grabbed the officer and attempted to throw him over the railing of the second tier of the housing unit.
Specifically, officers were on the second tier of the housing unit when Inmate Christian began running at an officer assisting with securing the doors. Christian continued to advance towards the officer as the officer shouted several orders to stop until Christian reached the officer, lowered his body, and wrapped his arms around the officer’s legs. Christian attempted to pick up the officer and throw him over the railing when several other officers arrived and subdued the inmate.
No serious injuries were reported and Inmate Christian was rehoused into the Restricted Housing Unit.
