A Rock Springs man arrested by sheriff's deputies and charged with Aggravated Assault and Battery pleaded guilty and was sentenced in District Court in Green River on April 8th. Michael Anthony Vincent Strand, 23, pleaded no contest before to a single count of Aggravated Assault and Battery. The charges stemmed from an incident that took place back on August 4th of last year when several teenage boys reported they had been jumped by a large group who rushed their pickup. Windows were broken and the tires were slashed on the victims' truck. Two victims were treated for head wounds. One of the victims said he was dragged from the truck and was then beaten with a crowbar by Strand. The incident appeared to start at the Fair when one of the teenagers danced with a girl, which made her boyfriend jealous. Strand was given a suspended sentence and placed on three years of supervised probation. He was also ordered to pay a total of $5,179.03 in restitution
