Three staff members injured in Miami Correctional Facility assault

This from the Pharos Tribune: BUNKER HILL, IN — Three staff members were assaulted and received injuries at Miami Correctional Facility on Sunday, marking the most recent incident in a string of assaults at the prison.

Prison officials in an email say the assault Sunday remains under investigation, and no other information is being released at this time.

Another assault was reported at the prison in March, when video footage showed a corrections officer speaking to offender Levi Greenup, who reached through the broken window of his cell and stabbed the officer with a handmade shank, according to a probable cause affidavit.

Investigators said the incident happened in the restricted housing unit where offenders had recently been causing problems, including lighting fires in the unit and breaking out the glass of their cell doors.

Greenup was charged with aggravated battery in May.
