An incarcerated man faces new felony charges after an alleged assault on a correction officer at Groveland Correctional Facility.
Austin A. Miles, 31, was identified as the suspect following an investigation into the incident, according to New York State Police.
Police said the assault happened around 12:25 a.m. on Feb. 3, 2025, when Miles allegedly concealed his identity, jumped over a desk and struck an officer at an officer’s station.
The officer suffered multiple injuries and was taken for medical treatment. Investigators later identified Miles through body-worn camera footage and witness interviews.
A Livingston County grand jury indicted Miles on March 4. He was processed March 24 on charges including assault in the second degree and assault on a peace officer.
Miles was returned to state custody and is scheduled to appear in Livingston County Court at a later date.
