Mount Olive Inmate Stabbed

{Charleston, West Virginia}…West Virginia State Police are conducting an internal investigation after Jordan Roush, an inmate at the Mount Olive Correctional Complex, was stabbed by Victor Hoffman, an inmate from Putnam County, Monday morning while both men were in the prison yard.  West Virginia Division of Corrections Director Jim Rubenstein says Hoffman used a "shank," or homemade knife. Hoffman, who is serving time on two counts of conspiracy to manufacture and sell a controlled substance, will be charged with a Class I violation, the most serious charge in prison. Additional charges could be pressed against Hoffman pending the state police investigation. Roush is serving time on child molestation charges.
