CHATTANOOGA — An inmate is accused of assaulting a corrections officer, pinning her against a wall and using her own pepper spray to temporarily blind her at Silverdale Corrections on Sunday.
Officer Rakiesha Lewis says the inmate, Danny Lowrance, approached her and quickly became argumentative about the scheduled recreation time, according to the Chattanoogan.
Lowrance, 33, allegedly grabbed Lewis as she reached for her prepper spray, threw her against a wall, and held her there as he sprayed her in the face.
Another inmate came to her aid and she was able to go to the central control office to call for help.
Lowrance has been charged with aggravated assault.
