COAL TOWNSHIP - State police and a prison official confirmed the identity of an inmate accused of attempting to kill a prison guard last week at SCI-Coal Township.

William Cramer, 23, serving a life sentence for murdering his cellmate in Cambria County Prison in August 2012, has not yet been charged in the Aug. 31 attack on the unidentified guard. He has since been transferred to SCI-Dallas, Luzerne County.

Cramer's involvement in the attack was verified Tuesday after a press release was issued concerning a separate incident. Issued by Trooper Todd Leiby, the release said Cramer was stabbed by another inmate with a "homemade instrument" on Aug. 28, three days before the attack on the guard. Cramer's alleged attacker remains unidentified as an investigation continues. Charges are pending.
