Paul Kendrick, age 29, was accused of killing Sgt. Mark Baserman, age 40, and injuring correctional officer William McDowell, then 40, of Friedens, who came to the sergeant's aid while both correctional officers were on duty at Somerset-SCI on Feb. 15, 2018.
Kendrick allegedly attacked Baserman "over a confiscated towel†that Kendrick was using as a privacy screen to conceal his bunk on Feb. 15, 2018, according to court documents. A privacy screen is against the rules in the prison system. The consequences for breaking a rule often lead to an inmate being written up and punished by having privileges withdrawn for a time.
