Inmate At The Federal Correctional Institution At Schuylkill Sentenced To 35 Months In Prison For Assault With A Dangerous Weapon

SCRANTON- The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced today that Jared Sebaugh, age 36, an inmate at the Federal Correctional Institution at Schuylkill, in Minersville, Pennsylvania, was sentenced on August 1, 2024, by U.S. District Court Judge Julia K. Munley, to serve 35 months in prison for assaulting another inmate with a dangerous weapon.

According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, Sebaugh, formerly of Olmstead Falls, Ohio, pleaded guilty and admitted to assaulting another inmate with a dangerous weapon with intent to do bodily harm. The charge stems from an incident in February 2023 in which Sebaugh assaulted another inmate with a prison-made weapon consisting of a combination lock attached to a cloth strap.

The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Prisons Special Investigative Service.  Assistant United States Attorney Robert J. O’Hara prosecuted the case.

At the time of the incident at FCI Schuylkill, Sebaugh was serving a sentence from the Northern District of Ohio for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. That sentence has since expired.
