Fox Lake prison inmate will stand trial for attempting to kill two guards BY COLLEEN KOTTKE • The Reporter • May 8, 2009 JUNEAU — A Fox Lake Correctional Institution inmate charged with trying to kill two correctional officers at the facility last year will stand trial. Probable cause was found in the case against Terrance B. Davis during a preliminary hearing held this week in Dodge County Circuit Court. The former Milwaukee man is charged with two counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide. At the time of the attacks, Davis was serving a life sentence for killing to Milwaukee police officers in 1985. The latest charges each carry a maximum penalty of 60 years in prison. Davis, 50, would have been eligible for parole in 2016 prior to the 1993 attack, said Department of Corrections spokesman John Dipko. A 52-year-old corrections officer testified that he was inspecting an inmate project in the furniture shop of the Badger State Industries building the morning of Nov. 10, 2008, when Davis came up from behind and allegedly struck him on the head repeatedly with a claw hammer. Hearing the commotion, a fellow officer sitting in at the officer's station shouted at Davis, who turned and ran toward the 38-year-old officer with the hammer in his hand, according to the criminal complaint. The younger officer testified that as he wrestled with Davis, the inmate looked him in the eye and said he was going to "kill" him. A BSI employee who had been working in the tool cage area ran toward the officer station and tackled Davis, allowing the correctional officer to escape, according to the complaint. Both correctional officers told officers they are still seeking medical attention for their injuries. Davis is currently incarcerated at the Waupun Correctional Institution. An arraignment hearing has been set for June 16. Read more. If link has expired, check the website of the article's original news source. |
