Wah
WORTHINGTON A former employee of JBS Worthington was sentenced Thursday for threatening to shoot multiple people on site last year.
Ka Wah, 28, of Fulda, was arrested in January 2020 after two co-workers reported that he had threatened to bring a gun to work and kill them along with others.
Wah was charged with felony threats of violence with intent to terrorize. He pleaded guilty to this offense.
Fifth Judicial District Judge Sherry Haley judged Wah to be guilty of the crime but reduced Wah s conviction from a felony to a gross misdemeanor. She sentenced him to 360 days in jail with a stay of execution, meaning that he will be allowed to serve two years of supervised probation instead.
He will also pay a $1,000 fine. Written By: Leah Ward | ×
Wright
WORTHINGTON A Worthington man will serve two years of supervised probation for a criminal case in which he was convicted of fourth-degree assault of a peace officer when he spat on an officer during an altercation at a convenience store last year.

He was eventually arrested and charged with fourth-degree assault of a peace officer, domestic assault by strangulation, obstruction of the legal process and fourth-degree property damage.

WORTHINGTON Several years of probation and hundreds of dollars in fines were ordered Thursday for a Rushmore man convicted on a number of criminal cases.

Vasquez was charged in December with third-degree rioting in an assault that took place at the Ground Round in September. He pleaded guilty to that gross misdemeanor charge.
