DALLAS, Pa. — An inmate at a Luzerne County state prison — serving a life term for murder and then convicted of trying to kill a guard — is accused anew of attacking his jailers, state police at Wilkes-Barre said Sunday.
William Cramer, 33, had to be removed from his cell in the Dallas state prison in April because he blocked the door with his mattress and covered the cell’s camera.
While held in a restraint chair, Cramer told the guards, “You can’t spray me with the spit hood on…Go ahead, I’ll give you a reason,” troopers said in a statement.
Then Cramer head butted a correctional officer’s arm, state police said.
Cramer is serving a life sentence for killing a cellmate in 2012.
In 2015, he used a homemade weapon to stab a guard at a state prison in Schuylkill County. He was convicted on counts of attempted murder and aggravated assault in 2018.
