Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - A man who recently assaulted an Olmsted County detention deputy while awaiting sentencing for two earlier assault cases has been given a short prison sentence.
Sentenced Wednesday was 32-year-old Joseph Martin of Dover.
Martin was sentenced to a total of 28 months for both felony convictions. His actual time will be less than that as he was also given credit for the 8 months he has spent in jail since his arrest.
He pleaded guilty earlier to two assault cases as part of a plea agreement that led to the dismissal of a 3rd assault case.
