A man was sentenced to probation in a hearing in Starke Circuit Court Tuesday afternoon.
William Jones pleaded guilty in a plea agreement with the state to a charge of domestic battery as a Class D felony. Judge Kim Hall accepted the plea agreement and Jones was sentenced to 18 months in the Indiana Department of Corrections with the entire sentence suspended to be served on probation. Jones must pay a $50 domestic violence fee along with court costs.
If Jones successfully completes probation, he may petition the court for misdemeanor treatment.
