Dixon Correctional Center Captain Struck By Inmate
A Dixon Correctional Center captain was assaulted by an inmate after the visitation period ended. Warden Richard Gramley said the incident occurred in the visitors center at about 3:30 p.m. The inmate struck the captain on the nose and punched him several times before other officers restrained him. The injured guard was treated at the health care unit and then at KSB Hospital. The warden indicated the incident appears isolated and not gang related, with charges likely from the Lee County State's Attorney in a few days.
