Man sentenced for beating worker
A New Town man has been sentenced for putting an employee at a propane business in the hospital with serious injuries.
BISMARCK (AP) — A New Town man has been sentenced for putting an employee at a propane business in the hospital with serious injuries.
Thirty-nine-year-old Robert Brugh Jr. pleaded guilty in May to assault resulting in serious bodily injury. U.S. Attorney Timothy Purdon said Brugh was sentenced Thursday to two years and three months in federal prison, to be followed by two years of supervised release.
He also must pay about $26,575 in restitution.
Authorities said Brugh beat an employee at United Prairie Cooperative in New Town on Jan. 9 because the business could not deliver propane that day. The employee suffered a brain injury and a skull fracture and was hospitalized for several days.
