A Troy man accused of stabbing another man multiple times earlier this year and sending him to the hospital with serious injuries received a suspended sentence during a recent court hearing.
On Aug. 28, Joshua Miller, 36, pleaded to one felony county of aggravated assault. On Oct. 23, Lincoln County District Judge Matt Cuffe stuck with the terms of a plea agreed to by defense attorney S. Charles Sprinkle and Lincoln County Deputy Attorney Jeff Zwang. Miller’s plea deal called for an 8-year suspended sentence to the Montana State Prison. He received credit for 82 days served in the county jail.
There was some discussion of paying restitution, but Sprinkle said a Medicaid claim was not part of the plea.
