MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — An attorney for the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd says his family has been kept in the dark by federal prison officials after he was stabbed in prison. A person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Friday that Derek Chauvin was stabbed by another inmate at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, Arizona. The medium-security prison has been plagued by security lapses and staffing shortages. Chauvin’s lawyer says his family has been provided no information about his condition from the Federal Bureau of Prisons. A spokesperson for the agency has not responded to an Associated Press request for comment.
