US EditionWisconsin Inmate Sentenced to 5 Years for Role in Guard's Death
LINCOLN HILLS-COPPER LAKES JUVENILE PRISON, WISCONSIN, AUG 6 – An 18-year-old inmate received a five-year sentence after pleading guilty to involvement in a fatal fight that led to a guard's death at a juvenile facility, court records show.
- In June 2024, Cory Proulx, a 49-year-old correctional officer at Lincoln Hills-Copper Lakes juvenile facility, was struck repeatedly by a 16-year-old detainee, causing him to fall and sustain a head injury on the pavement.
- The incident stemmed from the 16-year-old inmate's anger over a female guard, whom he believed was abusing her power, leading to a physical altercation involving a cup of soap and punches.
- In April, 18-year-old inmate Rian Nyblom admitted to involvement in battery by a prisoner on two separate occasions, acknowledging that he provided soap and conditioner to the 16-year-old prior to the attack and observed the assault on Proulx.
- On Wednesday, Judge Galen Bayne-Allison of the Lincoln County Circuit Court sentenced Nyblom to five years in prison, giving credit for 405 days already served; meanwhile, a separate 17-year-old inmate involved in the case is scheduled to stand trial in February.
- The felony murder charge against Nyblom was reduced as part of a plea deal and an additional battery charge was dismissed, suggesting ongoing legal proceedings and potential for further case developments.
