OREGON CITY, Ore. (AP) — A Molalla man has been sentenced to 45 days in jail for punching another man after being told to slow down on a rural road.
The Oregonian reported that Brian Scott Maloy pleaded guilty in Clackamas County Circuit Court last Friday to assault and reckless endangerment.
Charges of strangulation and reckless driving were dropped in the plea agreement.
Maloy said he’d argued with his girlfriend and was angry when he drove past Michael Allen, who was helping a neighbor repair a fence last March.
Allen raised his hands and told Maloy to drive more slowly because horses had escaped and were on the loose.
