A former inmate at State Correctional Institution/Mahanoy charged with trying to kill a corrections officer last year is among those scheduled to plead not guilty Thursday during arraignment in Schuylkill County Court.
William A. Cramer, 24, now being held at SCI/Frackville, was arrested by Trooper Alan Zulick of state police at Frackville and charged with criminal attempt to commit murder in the first degree, aggravated assault, aggravated assault on police, assault by prisoner, assault by life prisoner with a deadly weapon, weapons or implements for escape and possessing instruments of crime
Zulick said Cramer, formerly of McClellantown, Fayette County, seriously injured Jared M. Mausteller by slicing the officer’s neck and arm with a shank.
Zulick said the incident occurred Nov. 21, 2015, when Cramer indicated he was having heart-related problems and was approved to be removed from his cell for an EKG test. Due to medical testing, Zulick said prison officials said Cramer was handcuffed in the front instead of the back.
When the cell door was opened, Zulick said Cramer lunged at Mausteller, cut his neck with the shank and continued to attack him as he fell backward until he was subdued by other corrections officers.
