NEW BOSTON, TX (KSLA) - The Texas Department of Corrections officer at the Telford Unit in New Boston that died as a result of injuries allegedly suffered at the hands of an inmate Wednesday morning has been identified by prison officials. Telford Unit spokesman Jason Clark says it was Timothy Davison, 47, of Bowie County that was assaulted around 9 a.m. as he was bringing the inmate back to his cell. Clark says the inmate managed to get control of an iron bar used to open the slots in cell doors used to deliver meals to prisoners and use it to assault the officer. Davison was taken by medical helicopter to CHRISTUS St. Michael Health System in Texarkana, where he died from his injuries. “Our hearts are deeply saddened by this tragic loss of life. This dedicated correctional officer came to work each day determined to make Texas a safer place to live. I would ask the public to please keep the officer’s family and the entire TDCJ family in your prayers during this difficult time,” said Brad Livingston, Executive Director of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
