(KNZA)--A rural Horton man, convicted of severely beating another man on the Kickapoo Reservation in January, has been sentenced to 8 years and 4 months in prison.
Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill said 35-year-old Ryan Shopteese was sentenced Monday in Brown County District Court on a charge of aggravated battery.
Shopteese pleaded no contest to the charge in June.
During the sentencing hearing Monday, Hill said Shopteese and his attorney requested a sentence of 48 months in prison. He said the state countered that due to Shopteese's criminal history and the bodily harm suffered by the victim that resulted in facial fractures, he was deserving of a sentence of 100 months in prison. In the end, Hill said District Judge John Weingart agreed with the State.
Once released from prison, Shopteese will be subject to 3 years of post-release supervision.
