An inmate in the Fayette County Prison was charged after he allegedly bit a corrections officer.

Uniontown police filed aggravated assault by prisoner and other related charges against Michael Charles Hall, 31, of Uniontown on Thursday.

According to the criminal complaint, Hall allegedly became verbally abusive to a corrections officer, prompting other officers to put leg shackles on him. At one point, Hall refused to walk and had to be carried. While he was being carried, he allegedly kicked a corrections officer three times in the chest and bit a corrections officer’s thumb, breaking the skin.

Hall is currently awaiting a preliminary hearing.
