(Stillwater, Okla.) — An inmate in the Cimarron Correctional Facility was charged this week with repeatedly punching a guard in the face on July 20 until a response team at the Cushing private prison subdued the defendant.
Jacob Tyson Gonsalves, 20, is serving concurrent seven-year prison terms for escape from arrest or detention and second-degree burglary in McCurtain County in 2011, state Department of Corrections records show.
If convicted of repeatedly punching the guard, who had injuries around his eyes and face, a larceration on his nose and large swollen areas on his head, Gonsalves could be given an additional two-year prison term, court records show.
