HUTCHINSON, Kan. – At approximately 10 a.m. Friday, two corrections officers at the Hutchinson Correctional Facility Central Unit were battered by an inmate while in the Disciplinary Administrator’s office.
Officials say both officers were taken by facility staff to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center for treatment. Both have been released from the hospital.
The inmate was taken into custody and placed in the Administrative Segregation unit pending investigation.
No names of those injured, nor the inmate involved was released by prison officials. They only stated that “due to the ongoing investigation, no other information is available at this time.”
No doubt the investigation will be forwarded to the local District Attorney’s office for possible criminal charges.
