David B. Fein, United States Attorney
for the District of Connecticut, announced a federal grand jury sitting in
Bridgeport returned an indictment today charging PATRICIA A. BROWN, 21, a
prisoner at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Danbury, with using a
dangerous weapon to assault another inmate at the facility.
The indictment alleges that BROWN
assaulted the inmate on May 4, 2012.
If convicted, BROWN faces a maximum term
of imprisonment of 10 years and a fine of up to $250,000.
BROWN is currently serving a 30-year
sentence after having been convicted of murder in 2009 in the District of
Minnesota.
U.S. Attorney Fein stressed that an
indictment is not evidence of guilt. Charges are only allegations, and the
defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a
reasonable doubt.
This case is being investigated by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and is being prosecuted by Assistant United
States Attorney Neeraj N. Patel.
