Man given suspended sentence for domestic battery

Casey Anderson has been sentenced on a felony charge of domestic battery after an alleged altercation in Moorcroft on April 4 last year.

On that date, a Moorcroft Police Department officer was asked to respond to a domestic violence issue at a local motel. The victim allegedly claimed that Anderson had pushed her down in an alley, causing her to suffer numerous scratches and cuts.

Anderson was detained and allegedly denied having been involved in the situation, saying he had been at work that morning. He gave consent to search the motel room, leading to the alleged discovery of a small amount of suspected marijuana.

Anderson pled guilty to a charge of domestic battery, third or subsequent offense. He was sentenced by Judge John R. Perry to between four and six years of incarceration and a $10,000 fine, to be suspended pending successful completion of three years of probation.
