Katria Thorne-Stevenson, 32, of Newark, appeared with her defense lawyer close to 4 p.m. before Superior Court Judge Catherine Enright in Morristown and pleaded guilty to one count of simple assault at the Morris Township-based detention facility on Nov. 5. Thorne-Stevenson started at the facility on Aug. 21, 2006 and was paid $40,008 annually. Morris County Assistant Prosecutor John McNamara Jr. has recommended that the defendant be sentenced on April 28 to one year probation for her use of excessive force on the detainee.
