Stabbed in prison, felon back in S.A.

A San Antonio man who testified against the Texas Mexican Mafia last year has been charged with a gun crime and is back in custody in Texas after an attempt on his life in Colorado.

Court records said Joe Rene Tamayo Sr., 40, was stabbed with a "shank" in the federal prison in Florence, Colo., for testifying against leaders of his former gang at a federal trial in San Antonio in April 2005.
