Beaumont inmate will serve one year in prison for assault

An 18 year old inmate of Beaumont Juvenile Correction Center was in court Monday for sentencing.

Michael Dennis Austin pleaded guilty to assault on a staff member, an incident the Commonwealth described as “an unprovoked attack.”

Commonwealth’s Attorney Bob Beasley asked the court to sentence Austin within sentencing guidelines, while defense attorney William Blandford asked that Austin be returned to the juvenile facility, saying “the totality of his life is not pristine, but it’s not the worst.”

Judge Thomas V. Warren sentenced Austin to five years in prison with four suspended for a period of 10 years.
