PORTAGE, Wis. — A corrections officer is recovering after she was brutally beaten by an inmate last week.
NBC15.com reported that inmate Lamar Anderson is accused of attacking Columbia Correctional Institution Correctional Sergeant Elizabeth Easton on Dec. 30 with a “small piece of metal with a sharp point on one end.” Corrections officials are looking into where Anderson got the sharp object.
Easton suffered severe injuries to her face. Photos on a GoFundMe page created for her show her eyes swollen shut, her face black and blue and several large cuts on her forehead. The page has raised more than $5,000.
Officials said they do not have a motive for the attack at this time. The DOC is referring the case to local law enforcement.
