QUEENSBURY — A Moreau man was sentenced to three years in state prison Wednesday in Warren County Court for a felony assault conviction that stemmed from a bite to a Warren County Jail correction officer.

Devin A. Smith, 21, of White Birch Estates was sentenced after he violated probation for the second-degree assault conviction weeks after he was put on probation.

The conviction stemmed from an incident last Nov. 13 in which he bit a guard on the arm as he tried to handcuff Smith.
