Vermont State Police say an inmate at Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility in South Burlington has been charged with assaulting a jail guard.
Macklin Wayne Finley, 31, allegedly ignored commands by Correctional Officer Mary Humphrey before becoming combative and then assaulting Humphrey, who sustained a shoulder injury in the incident Monday. Finley was charged Friday.
Trooper J.R. Underhill says Finley was cited to appear in court Oct. 27 on a charge of assault on a correctional officer, which is punishable by up to a year in prison for a first offense.
