The accused entered guilty pleas to three counts of assault and one count of assault on a peace officer.
He pleaded not guilty to assault on a peace officer, assault on a peace officer causing bodily harm, and possession of property obtained by crime.
The court found that while the accused assaulted three Walmart employees outside the store after refusing to show his receipt, there was reasonable doubt as to whether he assaulted the arresting officer during the initial resistance.
The court dismissed the charges of assault and assault resisting arrest causing bodily harm.
The court found the accused guilty of possession of property obtained by crime based on circumstantial evidence that he had discarded a bag containing unpaid merchandise.
