HOLLIDAYSBURG — A 19-year-old Altoona man accused of beating a fellow Blair County Prison inmate almost a year ago was found guilty Wednesday of simple assault and disorderly conduct.

The jury took about 20 minutes to render verdicts convicting Matthew R. Sander­lin, who was accused of beating a fellow inmate believed to be a snitch.
