CINCINNATI - Today U.S. District Judge Michael R. Barrett sentenced Daniel Toops, 35, of Milford, to 12 months in prison for punching a Social Security Administration security guard in the face.
According to court documents, on April 11, 2019, Toops spoke with an official working at the Batavia Social Security office. Apparently dissatisfied with the information the official provided, Toops began to leave the building saying, “F*** you, mother f***er. I’ll come back and f*** you mother f****ers up."
When approached by the facility’s security guard, Toops engaged in an altercation with the guard and ultimately punched her in the face. The guard sprayed Toops with mace and he was subsequently arrested.
Toops pleaded guilty on June 25 to assaulting an officer of the United States.
U.S. Attorney Benjamin C. Glassman commended the investigation by the Federal Protective Service, as well as Special Assistant United States Attorney Timothy Landry, who is representing the United States in this case.
