BLOOMINGTON, IL - An inmate alerted officers at the McLean County Jail that the man charged with killing an Illinois State University student was attacking a correctional officer in an escape attempt, the sheriff said. McLean County Sheriff David Owens declined to release more information Friday, saying he wanted to protect the inmate. Olivia Anglin was transporting Maurice Wallace, 27, to take a shower when he allegedly attacked her with a shank fashioned from a piece of a broom handle, Owens said. Anglin, a jail officer since 2003, suffered stab wounds, broken facial bones and eye injuries. Wallace has pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from the May 28 incident, including attempted murder, attempted escape, armed violence and aggravated battery. Wallace pleaded not guilty in December to charges that he killed 21-year-old ISU senior Olamide Adeyooye, whose badly burned body was found Oct. 21 in the rubble of a Mississippi chicken house. She had disappeared eight days earlier from the central Illinois city of Normal, where she attended school. Adeyooye, who was to graduate from the 20,000-student university in December, was a native of Nigeria who moved to the Chicago suburb of Berkeley when she was 8. |
