Inmate at Niagara County Correctional Facility Charged After Assaulting Officers

Niagara County Sheriff Michael Filicetti announced the arrest of 31-year-old Anderson Davis III, an inmate at the Niagara County Correctional Facility, following a violent altercation that left two corrections officers injured.

The incident occurred on June 13th as officers were attempting to escort Davis to another part of the facility. According to officials, Davis became physically combative during the transfer, resulting in injuries to both officers involved. The injured staff members were treated at nearby medical centers and have since been released.

Sheriff Filicetti addressed the incident, commenting on the increased challenges faced by corrections personnel.

“This incident highlights the dangers of working in a correctional facility,” Filicetti said. “It also brings to the forefront, once again, the HALT Act. This flawed legislation has emboldened inmates to act out with little fear of repercussions. This individual needs to receive the appropriate punishment for the serious charges he is facing. I am thankful my officers are recovering after the incident."

Davis has been charged with two counts of second-degree assault, a Class D felony. He is scheduled to appear in CAP Court today.
