A Bear Lake man who struck someone with the butt of a shotgun he was not permitted to possess, has entered a plea to simple assault and other charges.

Adam L. Smith, 35, of Bear Lake, entered a guilty plea to simple assault, terroristic threats, offensive weapons, harassment, disorderly conduct, and criminal mischief.

Charges including aggravated assault, terroristic threats, and harassment were not prosecuted.

The aggregate maximum prison sentence was 14 years and 90 days and the maximum possible total fine was $30,300.

Restitution of $627 was requested.
