BREWTON, Ala. — A corrections officer is recovering after being attacked by three inmates at a detention center in Alabama.
WKRG reports that the 19-year-old officer was attacked during dinner on Saturday at the Escambia County Detention Center. Other officers who witnessed the assault jumped in to help before a riot team was dispatched to restrain the three inmates.
Chief Deputy Mike Lambert said the inmates are being held in isolation. The injured officer was taken to a hospital after suffering facial injuries, including a fractured nose.
Investigators will meet with the District Attorney on Tuesday to discuss the charges against the inmates.
