An inmate at the State Correctional Institute at Fayette is facing charges for allegedly throwing a cup of suspected urine at a corrections officer and spitting on two other officers.
George Edward Burdette III, 31, was charged Monday with aggravated harassment by a prisoner and disorderly conduct.
According to the affidavit of probable cause filed in his case, Burdette threw the cup out of his cell at the Luzerne Township prison at about 2:30 p.m. Oct. 27, hitting officer Kirk J. Luko in the thigh and stomach. While officers were escorting Burdette from his cell, he allegedly spit on Sgt. Michael Haines and officer Justin Bourquin.
Charges were filed before Fayette County Magisterial District Judge Mike Defino Jr.
