CLARKSBURG, W.Va. — An inmate at the Federal Correctional Institution, Gilmer, has been convicted of assaulting a fellow prisoner.
Gary Govindass, 36, pleaded guilty Monday to a criminal Information charging him with one count of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon with Intent to Do Bodily Harm.
In October 2014, Govindass became engaged in a physical altercation with a fellow FCI Gilmer inmate, which escalated to the point in which the victim suffered multiple stab wounds.
He was sentenced to an additional 12 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Irene M. Keeley.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons and the FCI Gilmer Special Investigative Services Unit led the inquiry.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Montoro prosecuted the case on behalf of the government.
