CORALVILLE – A staff member was assaulted by an inmate at the Iowa Medical Classification Center in Coralville, IA at approximately 8:15 p.m. Sunday evening.

The staff member, a correctional officer, was working at his post when he gave a directive to an inmate, which was not followed. After the officer repeated his directive, the inmate began to approach him in an aggressive manner. Another inmate that was in the area attempted to intervene and calm the aggressive inmate, but the aggressor threw hot coffee on the inmate that was attempting to assist in the situation. At that time, the correctional officer and the aggressive inmate began a physical altercation as the officer was attempting to subdue the aggressive inmate, and the inmate struck the officer in the face with a closed fist. Additional staff responded to the incident, and while two officers were bitten by the inmate during the struggle, they were able to bring the aggressive inmate under control.

All staff and inmates involved in the incident were assessed, found to have no major injuries, and treated by facility medical staff.

This incident remains under investigation.
