California Medical Facility inmate allegedly attacks correctional officer with improvised weapon
A correctional officer at the California Medical Facility prison in Vacaville was allegedly attacked by an inmate with an improvised weapon, officials say. The incident happened Wednesday just after 10 a.m., according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Prison officials say the correctional office was conducting a cell extraction when inmate Dannuzio Patron allegedly attacked. The officer suffered lacerations to his arm, officials say, while two other staff members who responded to help also reported knee pain. All three were taken to the hospital for treatment. Patron has been transferred to a different prison so he can be placed in restricted housing. He is facing attempted homicide charges, officials say. Prison officials say Patron, 38, had been at California Medical Facility since December 2024 for an eight-year sentence on an assault conviction out of Fresno County. Wednesday's attack was the second alleged inmate attack in as many months at California Medical Facility. Back on April 4, prison officials say three correctional officers were also injured by an inmate wielding an improvised weapon.

Correctional officer attacked at Vacaville prison
VACAVILLE, Calif. - A correctional officer was attacked and injured during an incident at a state prison in Vacaville on Wednesday when trying to remove one of the inmates from their cell, officials said. The attack happened at the California Medical Facility, a state prison in Vacaville, around 10:10 a.m., according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). Officials said the correctional officer was doing a "cell extraction" on Dannunzio Patron when the inmate they say cut the officer using an "improvised weapon." The correctional officer suffered lacerations to his left forearm during the melee, and two other staff members who stepped in to stop the incident later complained of knee pain, officials said. The injured officers were taken to a medical facility for treatment, and Patron was taken to another prison to be placed in restricted housing. What we don't know It's unclear the extent of the officers' injuries. A motive was also not named by officials. Dig deeper Patron was recently sent to the California Medical Facility from Fresno County on Dec. 30, 2024, the CDCR said. He was sentenced to eight years for assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury as a second striker, officials said. He now faces a possible attempted homicide of a police officer charge, officials said. The Source The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
