McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA – A South Carolina inmate has been sentenced to 15 additional years in prison for throwing a cup of diarrhea at a prison guard.
Donald Harper Jr., 35, was sentenced Monday after pleading guilty to throwing bodily fluids on a correctional officer.
A judge sentenced him to an additional 15 years in prison, the maximum sentence.
In 2015, Harper shot and killed a Benedict College instructor in Columbia, South Carolina. For that crime, he was sentenced to 24 years in prison.
On the evening of Jan. 11, 2025, a correctional officer was delivering meals to inmates inside Harper’s dormitory at the McCormick prison.
As the officer handed Harper his dinner, Harper threw a cup of diarrhea directly into the officer’s face.
