(KNZA)--A Jackson County man is to be sentenced next month after a plea deal was reached in an attempted murder case.
According to court documents, 46-year-old Ervin Mitchell, of Soldier, recently pleaded no contest in Jackson County District Court to a felony charge of aggravated domestic battery, canceling a jury trial in the case.
In exchange for the plea three additional charges—including attempted second-degree murder—were dismissed.
Sentencing was set for October 28.
Mitchell was arrested in September of last year after Jackson County Sheriff's deputies responded to a domestic disturbance call.
When they arrived, deputies found a woman who said she had been strangled during the disturbance.
Mitchell left the scene of the incident, and was arrested after deputies deployed stop sticks to disable the vehicle he was driving.
He remains in the Jackson County Jail, held on a $250,000 bond.
