SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- A man who was a New York state prison guard for 30 years has been convicted of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct after getting into a drunken brawl last summer in Upstate New York.

John J. Bateman Jr., 54, of Gansevoort was found guilty Thursday in Saratoga Springs City Court, Saratoga County prosecutors said.

Bateman got extremely intoxicated during a golf outing last August and continued drinking while hitting several downtown Saratoga bars, police said. Officials said he got into a fight at one of them, prompting police officers to intervene.

When asked for identification by police, Bateman showed his state correction officer badge while yelling curses and acting belligerently, Saratoga County District Attorney James A Murphy III told the Albany Times-Union.

Bateman refused their requests to calm down and was taken into custody. Bateman went limp, requiring several officers to carry him into the police station, where he continued to resist.

Bateman faces up to a year and 15 days in the county jail when he's sentenced in September.

Bateman worked at Mount McGregor Correctional Facility in neighboring Wilton until the 30-year veteran retired last month.
