NEW CITY – A Spring Valley man, who is an inmate in the Rockland County Jail, was convicted after a two-day, non-jury trial, of six felony counts stemming from criminal conduct on four occasions this year while confined in the jail.
When sentenced in March 2024, Darius Williams, 34, faces up to seven years in state prison on each count of assault, criminal possession of a weapon and promoting prison contraband.
He is currently in state prison after being found guilty and sentenced following a July jury trial for assault and criminal possession of a weapon stemming from an unprovoked assault on a stranger on a Haverstraw street.
The Rockland jail charges stem from two incidents where corrections officers found weapons on him – a shank and a screw. On two other occasions, he punched officers in the face, injuring them.
In this latest trial, he was found guilty of two counts of promoting prison contraband, criminal possession of a weapon, and three counts of assault.
