A California State Prison-Sacramento (CSP-SAC) correctional officer is recovering from injuries suffered during an unprovoked attack by an inmate Saturday night. The assault occurred on November 23 at approximately 5:30 p.m. while staff attempted to conduct a random search of inmate Delvin E. Cottingham's assigned cell. Inmate Cottingham exited his cell and unexpectedly walked toward the officer and punched the officer in his face, knocking him to the ground. Inmate Cottingham then straddled the officer's chest and repeatedly struck the officer in his face with his fists. A second officer came to the aid of the first officer and fended off the inmate's attack. The officer was taken to a local hospital for treatment. The officer, a nearly eight-year veteran of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), suffered a left orbital fracture, a bi-lateral fracture to both sides of his nasal cavity, and abrasions to his forehead, nose, cheeks and eyes. The abrasions to the officer's face required nine sutures. He is currently at home recovering. Read More. |
