SNOW HILL, Md. (AP) - A Sparrows Point man has been convicted in the death of another man after a fight in Ocean City.

The Daily Times of Salisbury reports that 21-year-old Darren M. Beattie was convicted of manslaughter and assault. A Worcester County Circuit Court jury found Beattie guilty on Tuesday.

Prosecutors say Beattie got into a fight on May 29 with 31-year-old Ryan Shupert of Lutherville. Shupert died two days later at a local hospital.

Beattie now faces a sentence of up to 10 years in prison for manslaughter.
