He liked both officers
So when two of the deputies on duty at the Erie County Correctional Facility with over 55 years of experience between them, started fighting over a bag of chips, he tried to stop the fight.
Wipperman said the disagreement began over "what appears to be the dissemination of food products." A source familiar with the event said a bag of potato chips somehow sparked the fight. He asked to remain unidentified because he lacks permission to disclose information about the facility.It might not be a bad idea for the deputies and the inmate to trade places for a few days.
Wipperman said the inmate told internal investigators that he got involved because he likes both officers and didn't want them to lose their jobs.
The inmate was taken to the prison infirmary and then Erie County Medical Center before being returned to the correctional facility, Wipperman said. He would not confirm that the inmate lost a tooth nor describe the extent of his injuries, citing federal privacy regulations.
