Morris man pleads guilty to punching woman

Comments (...)

A Morris man was placed on probation for 30 months when he appeared in circuit court Monday and pleaded guilty to a felony domestic battery charge.

Donald Fisher, 21, 406 Liberty St., was charged May 6 with punching a woman in the face and breaking a front tooth while they were at 406 Liberty St.

The charge was upgraded to a felony because of a prior domestic battery conviction, April 24, 2009, in Grundy County.

In court Monday, Fisher was sentenced to 31 days in the county jail, with credit for time served, fined $300, ordered to pay $20 per month in probation fees, submit a DNA sample and pay the $200 fee.

An April 25 charge of resisting police was dismissed. Fisher was charged with running from Officer Dustin Seale behind 402 Liberty St.
