N.D. man in prison for assault gets another 10 years

MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — A Mandan man serving a 13-year sentence for assaulting his female neighbor has been given another 10 years in prison.

The Bismarck Tribune reports Robert Gray on Friday was given the additional years for an unrelated 2006 incident. Gray had pleaded guilty to terrorizing and escape in South Central District Court.

Authorities say he chased his supervisor with a screwdriver then plunged it into his own neck and, two days later, escaped from a Bismarck hospital.

The new sentence will be served consecutive to his July sentence for aggravated assault, terrorizing and felonious restraint. Authorities have said Gray assaulted his neighbor, broke one of her teeth and choked her, then bound her with duct tape.
