   Minnesota Department of Corrections   
      
   Two Minnesota Correctional Facility-Oak Park Heights inmates have been charged   
   with assaulting three correctional officers in March.   
      
   Curtez Graham, 28, and Jeremy Carpenter, 26, are accused of being involved in   
   the scuffle that was reportedly started by one of the inmates spitting on a   
   correctional sergeant.   
      
   One of the officers was knocked unconscious and the sergeant suffered several   
   bone fractures to his nose.   
      
   According to the criminal complaint, on March 7 at 5:24 p.m., Graham and   
   Carpenter were approached by the correctional sergeant, who told Carpenter to   
   return to his cell. Carpenter spat in the sergeant's face and kicked him,   
   causing him to fall backward    
   onto an ice machine.   
      
   The sergeant was then punched in the head by Graham, sending the sergeant to   
   the ground.   
      
   Two other correctional officers responded, with the complaint saying Graham   
   punched another correctional officer with so much force that it left the   
   officer unconscious.   
      
   Another officer approached Graham and Carpenter punched him in the head, also   
   causing him to hit the ground.   
      
   A chemical irritant was deployed by other officers and Graham and Carpenter   
   were restrained.   
      
   The sergeant suffered multiple nasal bone fractures and required stitches to   
   close up an open wound to the bridge of his nose. He has since undergone   
   multiple procedures as a result.   
      
   "Even six months after the incident, [the sergeant] continues to experience   
   post-concussion symptoms consistent with a traumatic brain injury," the   
   complaint says.   
      
   The second officer knocked unconscious also suffered "multiple nasal bone   
   fractures," while the third officer assaulted had "obvious facial redness in   
   the area of the punches that was observed by other prison staff."   
      
   DOC records show that Graham has been convicted of 1st-degree criminal sexual   
   conduct and kidnapping. He was sentenced on Nov. 19, 2013. Carpenter was   
   previously involved with an assault of an officer at the Stillwater prison in   
   2015 and was serving a    
   sentence for 2nd-degree murder at the time of the March assault.   
      
   Both are charged with 3rd-degree assault, aiding and abetting 3rd-degree   
   assault and aiding and abetting 4th-degree assault against a correctional   
   employee. If convicted, Graham faces a maximum of 12 additional years to serve   
   in prison, as well as a $24,   
   000 fine. Carpenter faces a maximum of nine additional years to serve, as well   
   as an $18,000 fine.   
      
   It was one of multiple assaults at Minnesota Correctional Facility-Oak Park   
   Heights and nearby MCF-Stillwater over a course of weeks in the spring.   
      
   In a week's span in March, seven corrections officers were wounded in three   
   separate attacks at both Oak Park Heights and Stillwater prison. One officer   
   was left blind in one eye following an attack by an inmate in January as well.   
      
   EDITOR'S NOTE: This story has been updated to reflect that Jeremy Carpenter is   
   also charged in the case. Curtez Graham was the only person charged until   
   Friday morning.
