(McAlester-AP) -- A Pittsburg County jail inmate facing drug and rape charges now faces additional charges of assault and possessing contraband.
Charles Cranford junior, who's also known as Charles Chadick, is accused of attacking another inmate, then a police officer, with a home-made knife on Tuesday.
Jail officials say Cranford held the knife to the other inmate's throat before releasing the inmate and dropping the knife. Officials say he then began hitting and kicking Krebs Police Officer Sterling Taylor, who was at the jail to deliver another prisoner.
Cranford was arrested in January on methamphetamine charges and for allegedly having sex with a 14-year-old girl.
