CLEARFIELD The second day of the trial for a state prison inmate accused of assaulting three officers during a 2015 prison riot ended abruptly Tuesday when he pleaded guilty. Norman Wothman, 52, was charged with three counts each of aggravated assault, assault by prisoner, simple assault and harassment, as well as riot, disorderly conduct and several counts of criminal conspiracy. The charges stem from an incident at the State Correctional Institution at Houtzdale in Clearfield County in April, after which four corrections officers were taken to UPMC Altoona for treatment. The facility was on lock down for about eight hours. Wothman, who is serving a 70- to 140-year sentence for seven brutal rapes in Philadelphia in 2002 and 2004, has been moved to Rockview state prison, according to court records.
