A suspended Lynn police officer will spend 90 days in prison for witness intimidation, prosecutors said. Geovanni Ruano, 47, was sentenced yesterday in Salem Superior Court to two years in prison, with 90 days to serve and the balance suspended for two years, the Essex district attorney’s office said. Ruano was convicted Sept. 27 following a nine-day trial, the statement said. Prosecutors said that after having an altercation with a man in Lynn on July 31, 2010, involving a motor vehicle and an alleged assault, Ruano went to the man’s house the next day and tried to influence his statements to investigators. Ruano was acquitted of assault charges at trial.
