A Bath man was convicted Thursday of assaulting a village police officer during an arrest on East Morris Street, according to The Leader.
Fredrick Valkenburgh, 40, was found guilty of second-degree assault, obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct after two hours of jury deliberations.
Police said officers tried to move him out of traffic Sept. 5 and he injured Officer Taylor Waite while resisting arrest.
Steuben County District Attorney Brooks Baker said the officer suffered significant injuries, and a judge ordered Valkenburgh held without bail after the verdict.
Valkenburgh faces up to seven years in state prison when he is sentenced Nov. 24.
