SCRANTON - The United States Attorney’s Office for the
Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Orlando Hernandez, age 33, formerly
of Florida, was sentenced on July 30, 2019, by United States District Court
Judge Malachy E. Mannion, to serve an additional fifteen months in prison on
the charge of assault on a corrections officer.
According to United States Attorney David J. Freed,
Hernandez, an inmate at USP Canaan, previously admitted to kicking and
“head-butting” a corrections officer on January 27, 2017, during a disciplinary
hearing at the prison. Hernandez is
presently serving a sentence of 188 months resulting from his conviction in the
Southern District of Florida for the charges of Possession with Intent to
Distibute Crack Cocaine and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. The
sentence imposed by Judge Mannion will be served after Hernandez completes the
sentence imposed in the Southern District of Florida.
The matter was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) and the Bureau of Prisons Special Investigative
Service. Assistant United States
Attorney Robert J. O’Hara prosecuted the case.
