HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Correctional Facility inmate charged with attempted capital murder did make an initial court appearance Thursday where he was explained the charge against him and possible penalty.

43-year-old Corey Jeffery actually appeared initially via-video from the Reno County Jail, but they apparently had some trouble with that system, so he was brought to the courtroom under heavy guard.

He’s accused of stabbing a corrections officer back on September 17, 2014. Corrections Officer Tim Russell who was working at the central unit received multiple stab wounds and was transported to the Hutchinson Regional Medical Center by EMS for treatment.

A weapon was reportedly recovered at the scene of where the stabbing occurred.

With him being read the formal charge, his case now moves to a waiver-status docket in front of District Judge Joe McCarville on April 1.
