Lewisburg Federal Prison Inmate Charged With Assault

WILLIAMSPORT - The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced today that charges have been filed against Corey Maurice Treadwell, who is currently confined at the U.S. Penitentiary, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.

According to United States Attorney Peter Smith, Treadwell, age 49, is charged in a three-count Indictment with assault with intent commit murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, and possession of contraband in a prison facility.  In November 2015, Treadwell allegedly assaulted another Lewisburg inmate with a homemade weapon.

The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Bureau of Prisons Special Investigative Service. Assistant United States Attorney Geoffrey W. MacArthur has been assigned to prosecute the case. 

Indictments are only allegations.  All persons charged are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court.

A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statues and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.  In this case, the maximum penalty under the federal statutes is 25 years imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine of $500,000. 

Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the Judge is also required to consider and weigh a number of factors, including the nature, circumstances and seriousness of the offense; the history and characteristics of the defendant; and the need to punish the defendant, protect the public and provide for the defendant’s educational, vocational and medical needs. For these reasons, the statutory maximum penalty for the offense is not necessarily an accurate indicator of the potential sentence for a specific defendant.
