Easton Man Gets Prison for South Side Beating

An Easton man who admitted to breaking another man's eye socket in a beating last year is headed to state prison.

According the Morning Call, Joseph Beaman was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison Tuesday in Northampton County Court.

Judge Craig Dally also ordered Beaman to pay the medical bills of his victim, Todd McNally, whose injuries included the broken eye socket, missing teeth and a broken nose.

Beaman then took $200 from McNally; he pleaded guilty to robbery Monday for the attack, which happened July 8 at a home on West Grant Street.
