James Lee Halverson, 38, was sentenced Friday to five years and 11 months behind bars, with credit for 370 days already served. He was found guilty of second- and third-degree assault for attacking someone at Dooley’s Pub on May 8, 2019. After a confrontation that was broken up by bar staff, authorities said Halverson picked up a glass and smashed it into his victim’s right hand and face. Police said the victim suffered a cut to the left cheek deep enough to require surgery.
