A 20-year-old Manchester man has been ordered to serve 11 years of a 25-year prison sentence for a New Year's Day beating that left a Hampstead man with permanent injuries, a Carroll County prosecutor said.
Scott William Jarriel of the 3100 block of Park Ave. was found guilty of first- and second-degree assault by a Circuit Court jury after a four-day trial in August. He was sentenced to prison Tuesday by Judge Luke K. Burns Jr. and ordered to pay more than $10,500 toward the victim's medical bills.
Michael Chumley, 44, was beaten in the head about 2 a.m. Jan. 1 with a bat or club in an alley in Hampstead, said Senior State's Attorney Clarence M. Beall III. Chumley spent more than a week in a coma at Maryland Shock Trauma Center and has had long-term effects from the assault, which he believed involved three men. No one else has been charged.
The assault apparently arose from an incident that night that upset Jarriel, who was the boyfriend of a daughter of Chumley's former girlfriend, Beall said.
