A correction officer was knocked unconscious during an altercation involving an inmate and several officers at Wende Correctional Facility, union officials said. The incident began about 9:30 a.m. last Tuesday when Trevis Moore, serving a life sentence for murder at the maximum-security prison, refused to follow a correction officer's instructions to go to the gym. Moore lunged at officers, knocking one unconscious to the ground before being subdued, according to the New York State Correction Officers & Police Benevolent Association. Two officers, whose names were not released, were hospitalized in Buffalo overnight after being treated for cuts, bruises and back injuries. Grant Marin, vice president of the union's western region, said charges were expected against the inmate, who has been imprisoned since 1986. |
