(KNZA)--A Wathena man facing a felony charge of aggravated battery has entered into a plea agreement.
The Kansas Chief reports 37-year-old Ryan Smith pleaded “ no contest” last Friday in Doniphan County District Court to a reduced charge of misdemeanor battery, canceling a jury trial that had been set this week in the case.
Sentencing was set for April 5th.
Smith is accused of assaulting J.T. Euler at a farm north of Wathena last April, leaving Euler requiring surgery for facial injuries.
Authorities say the altercation occurred while Euler was in the cab of a tractor planting corn after Smith confronted him about who had permission to hunt on the property.
