STANTON, N.D. (AP) - One of three men charged in a March shootout with a rural Golden Valley homeowner has been sentenced to serve 90 days in jail.
The Bismarck Tribune reports (https://bit.ly/1sRlzAr ) Judge Sonna Anderson on Wednesday accepted a plea deal in which 19-year-old Benjamin Schultz pleaded guilty to being the accomplice driver in a plan to steal power tools from Jeffrey Gegelman. Schultz was given credit for the 43 days he already had spent behind bars.
Co-defendants Brett Knudson and Bryson Snell pleaded not guilty to felony charges at the same hearing in Stanton.
Schultz told Anderson he waited in the car while Knudson and Snell went into Gegelman’s house. Authorities allege Knudson took multiple shots at Gegelman and that Gegelman returned fire. Both Knudson and Gegelman were treated for gunshot wounds.
