Charges Connected to Assaults at
SCI-Houtzdale Bound to Court

Six inmates will stand trial for allegedly assaulting 10 officers at the State Correctional Institution in Houtzdale in March.

Rhonshawn Jackson, Paul Ford, Nathan Izzard, Donny Jackson, Curtis Gibbs and Gregory Cain have been charged with aggravated assault, riot, assault by a prisoner, and related offenses.

The alleged assault started when Rhonshawn Jackson dropped a meal ticket on purpose and a guard asked him several times to pick it up. Jackson eventually hit the guard in the face, then other inmates and guards got involved in the fight.

The altercation lasted for about 10 minutes in the dining area and hallway.

The seventh defendant, Deablo Clientscale, who faces the same charges, will have his hearing later this month. He's in quarantine because he may have the H1N1 flu.
