A Reno man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison after being convicted of beating a homeless shelter employee and breaking the victim’s jaw. 36-year-old Christopher Stewart Woodstone was found guilty after a two-day trial in Washoe District Court. Woodstone was arrested in December 2016 by the Reno Police Department after an investigation into a battery that took place at the Community Assistance Center’s Record Street family shelter. Woodstone had been asked to leave the family shelter after staff received disturbing complaints about him. When a male staff member told Woodstone to leave, he responded by punching the victim in the face, which resulted in a broken jaw. Woodstone was sentenced as an habitual criminal.
