State police report they charged a Garner Correctional Institution inmate on April 11 on two separate arrest warrants stemming from incidents that occurred in January and February at the high-security prison at 50 Nunnawauk Road.

State police made the arrests at Connecticut Superior Court in Danbury, after which inmate Danny Lee Hines, 46, was arraigned there on both charges.

Hines was charged with first-degree assault on a state Department of Correction (DOC) employee in connection with a January 29 incident at the prison in which a 45-year-old male DOC worker was the victim. Also, Hines was charged with second-degree threatening in connection with a February 7 prison incident.

In both arrests, Hines refused all aspects of being arrested on the warrants, state police said. Consequently, he was also charged with failure to comply with fingerprinting requirements.

At his arraignment, Hines did not plead to any charges. He is scheduled to return to court on May 2. Hines is serving a 27-year sentence at Garner on a conviction on the controlling charge of first-degree assault.
