Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that a Rikers Island inmate has been sentenced to one and a half to three years in prison after pleading guilty to Aggravated Harassment of an Employee by an Incarcerated Individual for throwing feces at a Correction Officer.
District Attorney Clark said, “The defendant tossed fecal matter at a Correction Officer, striking her in the face and abdomen. She pleaded guilty to committing this disgusting act of violence against a Correction Officer, who described the incident as the worst moment of her career.”
District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Nicole Smith, 35, last of 1430 Waters Place, was sentenced today to one and a half to three years in prison by Bronx Supreme Court Justice John Collins. The defendant pleaded guilty to Aggravated Harassment of an Employee by an Incarcerated Individual on July 22, 2022.
According to the investigation, on August 19, 2019 at approximately 12:15 p.m., at the Rose M. Singer Center on Rikers Island, the defendant threw fecal matter from a milk carton onto the face and upper torso of a New York City Department of Correction Officer.
District Attorney Clark also thanked Department of Correction Investigators Christie Gaie and Walter Holmes for their work on the investigation.
