Chauvin was badly hurt after he was stabbed in a federal prison one week ago; the charging documents indicate the stabbing happened in the law library at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, Arizona. Chauvin is currently serving his 22-year sentence there. The former police officer was convicted of killing George Floyd during an arrest in May 2020.
The inmate who stabbed Derek Chauvin in federal prison last week did so with an improvised knife.
The U.S. Attorney's Office identified the alleged perpetrator as 52-year-old John Turscak. He now faces charges of attempted murder, assault with intent to commit murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, and assault resulting in serious bodily injury.
He tells corrections officers that he would have k*lled Chauvin had they not responded as quickly as they did.
Turscak is a former FBI informant.
A WCCO source earlier this week said that Chauvin was hospitalized following the attack, but was said to be in stable condition.
