Female officer attacked, groped at prison in Marcy
MARCY — A convicted rapist from Monroe County attacked and groped a female officer at Mid-State Correctional Facility early Saturday morning (4/1/17), according to the state Correctional Officers & Police Benevolent Association.
The incident occurred around 2:55 a.m. inside one of the dorms of the medium security prison when Inmate Chaz Robinson, 32, walked into the officer’s station with his blanket from his bed, threw it over the officer’s head and then began to grope and attack he, officials said.
While on the ground, the officer was able to pull and activate her emergency pin. As the alarm sounded, the inmate got up and ran out of the office and into the dorm bathroom, officials said.
Three inmates, who heard the alarm and realized what had happened, ran to the station. Two inmates ran after Robinson into the bathroom and held him until the response team arrived on the scene, officials said. The third inmate stayed with the injured officer until help arrived.
The officer, who sustained bruises and abrasions, was taken to a local urgent care for treatment and treated and released, officials said.
