A Rockland County man has been indicted for attempted murder stemming from a violent attack on a female corrections officer at the Rockland County Jail.
Israel Gourion, age 32, of Wesley Hills, was indicted on Tuesday, Feb. 23, on charges of attempted murder, assault, and strangulation, said Chief of the Rockland County Detectives Peter Walker.
Gourion was an inmate of the jail at the time of the attack. The case is being prosecuted by Supervising Assistant District Attorney Mike Dugandzic.
On Wednesday, Feb. 10, the victim, a Rockland County Sheriffs Corrections Officer, was engaged in performing her lawful duties at the Rockland County Jail. At that time and without warning, Gourion attacked the officer by utilizing a chokehold to obstruct the officer s airway, Walker said.

Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge
Bruce E. Schroeder has denied a motion requesting increased bond and a new arrest warrant for
Kyle Rittenhouse. Prosecutors made the request to increase his bail by $200,000 earlier this month after learning that Rittenhouse had moved to a new address without their knowledge. Schroeder ruled that Rittenhouse was in violation of not updating his address, but it was not enough of a reason to increase his bail. Moving forward, Rittenhouse s address will be made available to the court. If prosecutors wish to obtain the address, they will have to go through the sheriff s office. Ultimately, the judge claimed that he didn t issue a new arrest warrant because he believes that Rittenhouse did not violate Wisconsin law.
