Samuel Brinkerhoff | Bonneville County Jail
IDAHO FALLS A Utah man police found sleeping next to an ATM will spend time on probation after getting into a scuffle with first responders.
Last week, Samuel Brinkerhoff, 21, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and battery on certain personnel. Magistrate Judge Kent Gauchay placed him on 18 months of supervised probation.
As part of a plea agreement, a felony assault and battery on certain personnel charge was amended to a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor resisting arrested charge was also dismissed by prosecutors.
Gauchay suspended 223 days of a 270-day jail sentence for Brinkerhoff. The man had already spent 43 days in the Bonneville County Jail, which he was given credit for. Officials released him to probation last week.
