HUTCHINSON — A Hutchinson Correctional Facility inmate charged with attempted murder of a corrections officers was bound over for trial Thursday morning after a preliminary hearing.

Corey Jeffery, 43, is accused of stabbing a corrections officer Tim Russell in September 2014.

Russell who was working in the C-2 cell house at the central unit received multiple stab wounds and was transported to the Hutchinson Regional Medical Center by EMS for treatment.

On Thursday, Russell testified that he had met with Jeffery prior to the incident. Jeffery was upset because of issues over his toilet.

About an hour later, Russell testified he was letting inmates out of their cell so they could visit the canteen when the attack occurred.

A weapon was reportedly recovered at the scene of the stabbing. It was a shank made out of metal.

A video of the incident didn’t positively identify Jeffery as the one who attacked the officer, but testimony showed the person in the video had the same physical characteristics as the defendant.

District Judge Joe McCarville found there was probable cause to send the case to trial.
