A 52 year old Effingham man currently jailed on child sex allegations now faces an additional charge for allegedly striking another inmate.
David Smith is to appear in Atchison County Court February 10th on a misdemeanor charge of battery.
The charge alleges Smith struck his cellmate at the time, Christopher Price on January 14th, shortly after Price returned to jail on a warrant before his sentencing.
Price was convicted in January on several theft charges, including taking items that belonged to Smith last August.
