HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) - A judge has placed two former Maryland correctional officers on two years of unsupervised probation for assaulting an inmate at the medium-security Roxbury Correctional Institution near Hagerstown in 2008.

Twenty-three-year-old Timothy Mellott, of Woodbridge, Va., and 30-year-old Lucas Kelly, of Big Piney, Wyo., were sentenced Friday in Hagerstown. In each case, the judge suspended an 18-month jail term.

The men pleaded guilty in May to one count each of second-degree assault against inmate Kenneth Davis. They were the only defendants convicted among nine officers charged with beating Davis.

Four former officers from the maximum-security North Branch Correctional Institution near Cumberland were convicted in a separate brutality probe. They got jail terms of six months or less.
