COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – A Sherwood man who fought with a motorist in the middle of Chicago Street in downtown Coldwater in March has been sentenced to three to 10 years in prison.
38-year-old Robert Jory Stevens was sentenced by Branch County Circuit Judge Bill O’Grady this week after he pleaded guilty to assault with intent to do great bodily harm.
Police say Stevens assaulted and bit Jordan Latta on the face and neck. They say as Latta was driving home from his job around 11:00 p.m. March 25, Stevens was in the westbound Chicago Street traffic lane west of Monroe Street. Video captured by a City of Coldwater camera showed Latta pulled around Stevens and parked. Both men could be seen fighting and then falling to the ground.
Stevens was also sentenced to three to five years after he pleaded guilty to malicious destruction of property for breaking out windows of the Southern Michigan Bank and Trust offices at 48 West Chicago earlier that evening.
The sentences run concurrently. Stevens was also ordered to pay $1,477 in restitution to the bank.
