A 22-year-old prisoner is accused of assaulting a correctional officer at the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cranston, authorities said Thursday.

Darren Frappier, formerly of Blackstone, Massachusetts, assaulted the officer in the intake unit of the Cranston facility at 7:45 a.m. Wednesday, according to a spokeswoman for the state police, Laura Meade Kirk.

Frappier was charged with felony assault on a correctional officer and disorderly conduct. He was arraigned in District Court, Warwick, and then returned to the facility, where he has been serving a 30-day sentence for domestic assault.

The correctional officer, who suffered a broken eye socket and nose as well as a shoulder injury, was treated at Kent County Hospital.
