Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of killing George Floyd, was transferred to a federal prison in Texas almost nine months after he was stabbed in a different facility, the federal Bureau of Prisons told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Chauvin, 47, is now housed at the Federal Correctional Institution in Big Spring, a low-security prison. He was previously held in Arizona at FCI Tucson in August 2022 to simultaneously serve a 21-year federal sentence for violating Floyd’s civil rights and a 22 1/2-year state sentence for second-degree murder.

The transfer comes nearly nine months after Chauvin was stabbed 22 times in prison by a former gang leader and one-time FBI informant.

    Is he a knife magnet? How does this keep happening to him? Did he do something wrong, or something?

        Then be infamous for triggering a huge number of protests and a few more murders of innocent bystanders.

      Wait did this happen before? Or are you just talking about the instance where he got stabbed 22 times (which is impressive) a couple months ago mentioned in the article?

          Maybe he was stabbed three times with a 7 point spork and once with a knife
