'Flippa Mafia' indicted for assault in US correctional facility

Jamaican dancehall entertainer Flippa Mafia, who was sentenced to prison in the US for his role in an international cocaine ring, has been indicted for assaulting a corrections officer at a New Jersey facility.  
  
The entertainer, whose given name is Andrew Davis, is serving a 25-year sentence in South Woods State Prison for charges of cocaine distribution, money laundering and conspiracy.
  
He allegedly assaulted the corrections officer on July 26 last year. The officer was in the medium-security section of the prison when it is reported that Davis began punching him.
  
A Cumberland County Grand Jury indicted Davis on January 11 for a charge of aggravated assault against the corrections officer.  
  
According to the New Jersey Department of Corrections, the officer has since returned to work.
  
Flippa Mafia was convicted in 2015 and sentenced to 25 years in prison on June 3, 2016.
  
In addition to the sentence, he was ordered to pay US$250,000 for an anti-money laundering profiteering penalty.
