OPINION BY

STEVENS, P.J.E.:

Christopher Ross Hecker (“Appellant”) appeals from the judgment of sentence entered in the Court of Common Pleas of Centre County after a jury convicted him of Aggravated Harassment by Prisoner, 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 2703.1, for spitting a mouthful of water on a corrections officer.

We affirm.
