A Clarendon man who has already been sentenced to a term in state prison has been charged with assault.

Cody S. Phinney, 33, was sentenced in late October to serve time in prison to satisfy charges in three separate cases filed against him. He was charged Dec. 19 by Warren city police with aggravated assault – attempts to cause serious bodily injury or causes injury with extreme indifference, a class 1 felony, simple assault and harassment – subjecting another to physical contact for incidents that allegedly happened Dec. 10.

Phinney’s address is listed as the Warren County Prison, indicating he had not yet been transferred to a state correctional institute.

Phinney had been charged in June after a methamphetamine raid on a trailer in Clarendon. Phinney was sentenced in October to 5 to 10 months in a state correctional institution and 1 to 2 months in prison to run consecutively after being found guilty of fraudulently altering, forging or counterfeiting title, registration and insurance information and possession of drug paraphernalia to satisfy one set of charges against him filed by the Warren Police Department.

Phinney then was sentenced to 2 to 4 months to run consecutively to his first sentence for a charge of fleeing/attempting to elude a law enforcement officer, and two terms of 6 to 12 months to run consecutively for convictions of recklessly endangering another person.

Phinney was then sentenced to 1 to 2 months to run consecutively for reckless driving, a fine for violations of stop sign and yield sign laws and fines for driving an unregistered vehicle, required financial responsibility and operating a vehicle without a valid inspection.

The final set of charges resulted in 2 to 6 months in prison to run consecutively after a conviction for DUI: controlled substances, 3 to 6 months after a conviction for possessing/selling/using display documents and fines for operating a vehicle without valid inspection, careless driving, driving while under suspension and driving an unregistered vehicle.
