A corrections officer was assaulted by an inmate during the morning meal at 4 a.m., and transferred to an offsite medical to receive treatment for non-life-threatening injuries. Following the assault, Correctional Emergency Response Team was sent to the prison, which ADOC said is "standard procedure."
The facility was placed on lockdown and inmates were ordered to return to their cells, according to ADOC, but inmates in one cell block refused. The CERT team entered the block at around 10:15 a.m. According to ADOC, inmates refused a second order to return to their cells and "became unruly and aggressively engaged the response team with physical force."
The inmates were armed with weapons including locks tied to belts, five knives, and broken broom handles, the department's spokesperson said.
ADOC said the CERT team disarmed the inmates with "reasonable force," and the cellblock was secured without further incident.
