Prosecutors have charged a second inmate in connection with a fight that left a counselor at Wisconsin's youth prison brain-dead.
Online court records show 17-year-old Rian Nyblom was charged in Lincoln County Circuit Court with being a party to felony murder-battery and two counts of being a party to battery by a prisoner in connection with Monday’s fight at Lincoln Hills-Copper Lake Schools, the state’s youth prison in Irma.
According to court documents, a 16-year-old inmate was upset with a 25-year-old female counselor whom he felt was abusing her powers. He threw soap at her, punched her and then punched 49-year-old counselor Corey Proulx, who fell and hit his head on concrete pavement. He was declared brain-dead Tuesday afternoon.
He said that he didn’t see the 16-year-old punch the female counselor, but he watched as he punched Proulx and Proulx hit his head. He added that he saw the female counselor had suffered a bloody nose, according to the complaint.
