8/30/14 - A man who has again been given more prison time to serve for assaulting guards. Yet another prison sentence has been tacked onto the others that 30-year-old Joshua Dewey is currently serving for assaulting prison guards while incarcerated at the Woodland Correctional Facility in Green Oak Township. He was recently ordered to serve 20 to 40 years after pleading guilty to charges of assaulting a prison employee and assault with intent to maim for gouging a guardâs eye causing permanent damage in January of 2013. He was sentenced as a 4th time habitual offender and a verbal motion made by Dewey seeking to withdraw his plea at the hearing was denied by Livingston County Circuit Court Judge Michael Hatty. Dewey is currently incarcerated at the Macomb Correctional Facility and records show that he has multiple convictions for assaulting prison employees. In May of 2011, Dewey was sentenced to a minimum of one year and seven months in prison and a maximum of 25 years. He pleaded guilty to seven counts of assaulting a prison employee in April and November of 2010 at the Woodland facility, formerly known as the Maxey Boys Training School. Deweyâs latest sentence must also be served after he completes his current prison terms. His other past convictions include felonious assault and criminal sexual conduct in 2001 and 2005. (JM)
