ALFRED — A Maine correctional officer is due in court to answer charges stemming from an alleged assault on an inmate at the York County Jail in Alfred.
Daniel Roy is due in court today on charges of assault and criminal threatening.
Roy and three other correctional officers were placed on administrative leave after they were indicted in connection with the incident involving an inmate in April.
