A Youngsville man has been sentenced to additional jail time after pleading guilty to simple assault on one set of charges against him.

Kurt L. Dansk, 41, of Youngsville was sentenced Friday to 5 months to 1 year, 11 months of confinement after pleading guilty to one count of simple assault, 2 years probation after pleading guilty to a second count of simple assault and a $500 fine. A charge of resisting arrest, two counts of harassment and a charge of terroristic threats with intent to terrorize another were not prosecuted. The probation will run consecutively to Dansk’s time in jail.

According to the Affidavit of Probable Cause filed by police, Youngsville police officers responded to a report of a physical domestic disturbance in Youngsville on April 29 and could allegedly hear yelling coming from inside the home that stopped when officers knocked on the back door of the home.

“I knocked on the back door, which is the commonly used door to the residence, where I got no answer, but the yelling from inside the house grew silent,” the affidavit states. “I knocked again and got no answer. Just prior to deciding to force entry into the residence … the daughter of the two subjects appeared to my right. She had exited out of the front of the residence. Nearly at the same time, Kurt Dansk appeared from the other side. I already had my department-issued service weapon drawn and I pointed it toward him. Dansk immediately decided to try and film with his phone. I holstered my weapon and attempted to grab his arm to detain him.”

Police said a youth was injured during the domestic incident after being hit as well as allegedly having coffee thrown at her, being shoved and being spit on.

Dansk was also sentenced on a second docket after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor charge of manufacturing a controlled substance to 12 months probation and a $500 fine. The nolo contendere, or no contest, plea is a legal option where a defendant does not admit guilt but accepts conviction and sentencing by the court.

Dansk had been charged with three felony charges of manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver, a third-degree felony charge of criminal use of a communication facility, three counts of intentional possession of a controlled substance by a person not registered and three counts of use or possession of drug paraphernalia. None of those charges were prosecuted, with the misdemeanor charge to which Dansk made the no contest plea added to the charges against him during an August court appearance during which the other charges were not prosecuted.

Police alleged in their Affidavit of Probable Cause that a confidential informant had purchased illegal drugs from Dansk.

Dansk was sentenced in August to between six and 21 months after pleading guilty to a charge of resisting arrest/other law enforcement and a minimum of one month to two months after pleading guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct. No further penalty was assessed by the court for two traffic citations.
