SUWANNEE COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) - A man who as a teen confessed to killing four neighbors in Rhode Island now faces an attempted murder charge for stabbing an inmate at Suwannee County prison.
According to a court document, Craig Price, now 43, attacked an inmate on April 4 with a 5-inch homemade knife at the Suwannee Correctional Institution.
During the attack that authorities say lasted over 20 seconds, the inmate managed to escape from Price and ran out of the cell. Price eventually caught up with him, tackling him and continuing to stab him.
Documents say that it took two officers and two other inmates to restrain Price.
The inmate "suffered two stab wounds to the head, two stab wounds to his back, and one stab wound to his chest,” according to the documents.
According to ABC6 News, Price now faces an attempted murder charge.
ABC6 News also reports that Price had previously confessed to killing four of his Warwick neighbors in 1989. They say he was just 15 years old at the time.
They say that this isn't the first time Price has been in trouble behind bars. ABC6 News reports that he got two years added to his sentenced after he stabbed a Florida prison guard in 2009.
The Associated Press reports that Price is set to be arraigned Aug. 30 in Florida but it's unclear if he has an attorney.
