Responding to questions from LassenNews.com, a spokesperson from the California Department of Corrections provided us with this information. “CDCR can confirm that a correctional officer assigned to High Desert State Prison was arrested on Dec. 9, 2024, while on guard duty at a Reno hospital. As the incident unfolded, CDCR took measures to ensure the officer was removed from his post, his weapon was secured and brought on an additional officer to maintain security … CDCR is conducting its own internal investigation into the officer’s conduct.”
