DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) — A Devils Lake man found beating a sport utility vehicle with a broom during a burglary has been sentenced.
WDAZ-TV (http://bit.ly/2ciUlT4 ) reports 19-year-old Colton Feather will be on supervised probation for 18 months. He received a suspended sentence of 18 months in prison after he entered an Alford plea to a felony count of burglary.
An Alford plea is one in which a defendant acknowledges there was sufficient evidence for conviction but does not admit guilt.
A Devils Lake homeowner in July found Feather in a garage beating the SUV. The station reports Feather swung the broom at the homeowner and asked him, "Do you want to die?"
Officers later located Feather walking nearby. Feather admitted in court that he has no recollection of the incident because he was intoxicated.
