Subject of Rochester Viral Video Sentenced to 40 Years in Prison

The Rochester man whose arrest last year was caught on video and prompted police criticism -- will serve 40 years in prison.

32-year-old Jarvis Lewis was found guilty of multiple charges, including assault, resisting arrest, and a gun crime.

A video of Lewis's arrest on Remington Street in June of last year went viral.

It showed officers kicking him on the ground as he struggled.

District Attorney Sandra Doorley says she's pleased with the sentence, calling Lewis a violent repeat offender.
