McD’s beat gal to get more time
THE TEENAGE ringleader of a notorious 2015 gang assault in a Brooklyn McDonald’s is expected to receive an additional two years in prison for beating a Rikers Island correction captain, the Daily News has learned.
Aniah Ferguson pleaded guilty Tuesday in Bronx Supreme Court to the Jan. 18 assault of a highranking officer inside the Rose M. Singer facility.
Ferguson’s attack left the captain with bumps and bruises to the face and forehead.
She is expected to be sentenced on Feb. 27 to two years in an upstate prison through a plea bargain. She had faced up to seven years for the jail attack.
At the time of the brawl, the 19-year-old was awaiting sentencing for the brutal caught-on-camera beatdown of a classmate inside a Flatbush Ave. McDonald’s.
The viral fight video showed Ferguson and others stomping and kicking the victim as she lay on the fast food joint’s floor.
Justice Dineen Riviezzo gave Ferguson — who has a behavior disorder — the chance to avoid time behind bars by participating in an alternative-to-incarceration program. But Ferguson terrorized staff at the program and Riviezzo threw her back in jail.
The judge then sentenced Ferguson to four years in prison — meaning that the out-of-control teen faces a total of six years behind bars.
