(KNZA)--A Hiawatha man convicted of assaulting two officers with a screw driver and the criminal damage of two Hiawatha businesses has been placed on probation.

51-year-old Jeronimo Bouttier was given a 76-month suspended sentence this week in Brown County District Court on 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. He was then placed on 24-months supervised probation and ordered to pay more than $1,000 restitution.

Bouttier pleaded “ no contest” to the charges in February. In exchange for the plea, a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct was dismissed.

He was charged with assaulting two officers with a screw driver after they responded in December to a domestic disturbance call at the Sunflower Motel in Hiawatha.

Bouttier was also charged with breaking a plate glass window out of the Physical and Respiratory Therapy Services building in downtown Hiawatha and damaging two doors at the Sunflower Motel.
