Tehachapi, California - Officials at California Correctional Institution (CCI) are investigating an assault that sent one correctional officer to the hospital. At 7:03 p.m. Tuesday, April 12, inmate Durrell Puckett, 30, summoned correctional staff to his cell. While speaking with staff, Puckett covered his cell door window so the officers could not see what he was doing. A medical emergency was announced, and as staff entered the cell, Puckett threw an unknown substance on them. He then used an inmate-manufactured weapon to stab a correctional officer in the head. The officer was taken to an outside hospital where she was treated for abrasions and lacerations. She was released from the hospital that evening and is recovering at home. Staff used physical force, an extraction shield, pepper spray and baton strikes to subdue Puckett. He was transported to a separate outside hospital and treated for a laceration to the back of his head. He was transferred to California State Prison-Corcoran and has been housed in the Administrative Segregation Unit pending an investigation. Read More. |
