| A federal inmate at the federal prison in Gilmer County has pleaded guilty to assaulting a correctional officer.
U.S. Attorney William J. Ihlenfeld II says 25-year-old David Williams admitted assaulting the officer while trying to dispose of contraband last January.
Williams entered his plea and U.S. District Judge Irene M. Keeley sentenced Williams to a year in prison.
The sentence will be served consecutively with Williams' existing 130-month sentence.
