(CORALVILLE) – A staff member was assaulted by an inmate at the Iowa Medical Classification Center in Coralville, at approximately 8:15 p.m., Sunday. The Iowa Dept. of Corrections says 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.  The incident remains under investigation.

Upon arriving at the address, law enforcement located a man in the apartment hallway.  He confronted law enforcement with a knife.  Officers ordered the man to drop the knife several times, but he refused. An officer with the Panora Police Department engaged the subject and fired his weapon striking the man, who was given medical aid but later died from his injuries.

His body was transported to the Iowa Office of the State Medical Examiner in Ankeny, where an autopsy will be conducted. The officer involved in the incident has been placed on paid administrative leave until the completion of the investigation.
