CDCR said the incident happened at 10:10 a.m. when the inmate, identified as 38-year-old Dannunzio Patron, “allegedly attacked a correctional officer with an improvised weapon during a cell extraction.”
One officer who tried to break up the incident was injured by the weapon in his left forearm and two responding staff members said they suffered knee pain, according to CDCR. The injured officers were all taken to an outside hospital for treatment.
“Patron was most recently received from Fresno County on Dec. 30, 2024. He was sentenced to eight years for assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury as a second striker,” confirmed officials in a news release.
Following the incident, Patron was transferred to another institution for restricted housing, said officials. The investigation will be handled by the Solano District Attorney’s Office for possible felony prosecution.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said peer support and employee assistance program services are being offered to employees.
