SAULT STE. MARIE, MI (AP)-- Authorities say a former food service worker at a prison in the Upper Peninsula tried to get an inmate to help orchestrate the assault of another inmate.
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette says 27-year-old former Aramark supervisor of Michael R. Young was charged Tuesday with one count of solicitation to commit assault with intent to cause great bodily harm, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
It's unclear if Young has a lawyer. He's jailed.
Schuette's office says Young was employed by Aramark Correctional Services at Kinross Correctional Facility in Chippewa County. In 2014, a Kinross inmate reported to the Michigan Department of Corrections that Young asked him to set up the assault at a different prison facility.
