Plea Entered in Officer Assault Case

(KNZA)--A Hiawatha man accused of assaulting two officers with a screw driver has entered into a plea agreement.

51-year-old Jeronimo Bouttier pleaded “ no contest” Monday in Brown County District Court to two counts of aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer, one count of felony criminal damage to property and one count of misdemeanor criminal damage to property.  In exchange for the plea, a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct was dismissed.
