Multiple inmates at the Elmria Correctional Facility were injured after multiple fights broke out on Tuesday.

The fights come after several people were charged with attempting to bring drugs into the facility.

At 1:10 p.m. an officer conducting random pat frisks of inmates discovered a ceramic blade that had a handle wrapped in electrical tape in an inmate’s pants pocket. The weapon was taken as evidence and the inmate was placed in a Special Housing Unit. He faces internal disciplinary charges.

At 2: 35 p.m. an officer observed an inmate leaving the chapel bleeding from the face. The injured inmate was escorted to the infirmary when he broke free from officers and attacked another inmate. He was taken to the ground by staff but continued to struggle. During the struggle, he struck an officer. He was eventually brought under control and placed in restraints. After the incident, officers conducted a pat frisk of inmates that were in the chapel. A officer discovered Synthetic Marijuana and Suboxone in the wallet of an inmate. The drugs were taken into evidence and the inmate was placed in a Special Housing Unit. The two inmates involved in the fight were also placed in a Special Housing Unit after being treated by medical staff for minor injuries. All three face internal disciplinary charges.
