A Yaak man who pleaded guilty to assaulting his wife after an argument over the death of a dog last year was finally sentenced.

Benjamin Michael Manheim, 64, was first charged with one felony count of strangulation of a partner or family member following an incident on May 23, 2023, at a River View Drive residence. 

On Nov. 13, Manheim entered his plea to an amended charge of criminal endangerment. Lincoln County District Judge Matt Cuffe set a sentencing date of Jan. 8. But it was rescheduled because a pre-sentence investigation hadn't been completed after Manheim didn't provide required information to the probation and parole officer on Jan. 2.
