Sean Robin Howard, a 22-year-old inmate at the Federal Correctional Institution Hazelton in Bruceton Mills, West Virginia, has been sentenced to an additional 36 months in prison. This sentence follows his guilty plea to assault with a dangerous weapon resulting in serious bodily injury.
Court documents reveal that Howard was involved in a verbal altercation with another inmate within a housing unit. During this dispute, Howard stabbed the other inmate in the neck, inflicting a serious wound. The injured inmate received medical treatment at a hospital.
Howard's new sentence will be served consecutively to his existing prison term.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandon Flower on behalf of the government. The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Chief U.S. District Judge Thomas S. Kleeh presided over the proceedings.
