On Monday, Morales-Rodriguez allegedly attacked a 52-year-old female Milwaukee County Corrections Officer (MCCO) around 10:00 p.m. after tampering with her holding cell locking mechanism. The door failed to lock and when the MCCO tried to check the mishap, Morales-Rodriguez then attacked the MCCO. They struggled last for at least seven minutes, until the MCCO was able to break free and overpowered Morales-Rodriguez. The MCCO couldn't reach for her radio because Morales-Rodriguez grabbed it and threw it into a cell keeping the MCCO from calling for help. She also got the MCCO's handcuffs and during the struggle, the MCCO suffered minor injuries, including scratches and scrapes, according a Milwaukee County Sheriff's news release.
