An inmate who assaulted a corrections officer during a riot in 2005 was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison Monday.
Jesus Manuel Cazares-Salas pleaded guilty to assault on a federal officer for an incident that occurred November 27, 2005, at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson.
At the time of the riot, Cazares-Salas of Culiacan Sinaloa, Mexico, was serving a sentence for re-entry after deportation, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona.
He was a member of the Border Brothers prison gang, which got into a fight with the Native American prisoners, the release said.
As corrections officers tried to break up the fight, they were stabbed with shanks and hit numerous times with various objects.
Cazares-Salas hit a corrections officer in the face with a telephone, breaking the officer’s nose.
Two other inmates are also pending trial for the same riot.
