LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A 23-year-old man has been sentenced to additional prison time for his participation in a deadly riot at the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution last year.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports Johnson County District Judge Daniel E. Bryan Jr. sentenced Ian Yelton to 20 months to five years in prison for the attempted second-degree assault of inmate Cory Bewley.
His term will run consecutively with a 30- to 50-year sentence he received in Madison County in 2012 for a sexual assault.
Yelton pleaded guilty to the charge. He was the second of five inmates charged in the riot to enter a plea and be sentenced.
Twenty-two-year-old William T. Harris pleaded no contest to third-degree assault in May. Judge Bryan added a year to his 51- to 74-year sentence.
