Prison guard stabbed by inmate at state prison in Youngstown

YOUNGSTOWN (AP) — Officials say a maximum security inmate made a weapon and has stabbed a guard several times at the Ohio State Penitentiary off Coitsville-Hubbard Road on the city’s East Side

Andrea Carson, an Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction spokeswoman, says the injuries the guard received today are not life threatening.

The guard is receiving hospital treatment in Youngstown and the inmate was placed in isolation.

Officials did not release the guard’s identity or the identity of the inmate. They also did not provide details on the weapon.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol in Trumbull County is handling the investigation, but troopers were not available for comment at press time.
