Pretrial Conference Held for Basin Man Charged With Aggravated Assault and Battery

A pretrial conference for a Basin man charged with Aggravated Assault and Battery was recently held in Fourth Judicial District Court in Sheridan. A #1 stack three-day jury trial remains scheduled for October 18 for David Briscoe, who was arrested and charged with Aggravated Assault and Battery for an alleged incident that occurred last year on December 17 in a parking lot of a business on Coffeen Avenue in Sheridan. According to court documents, Briscoe threatened an individual’s life after he pulled up his shirt to reveal a firearm in his waistband. Briscoe, at an arraignment hearing in May, pleaded “not guilty” to the charge. Aggravated Assault and Battery is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

In other news from District Court, a hearing that was scheduled as a change of plea hearing for 47-year-old Angel Albert took an unexpected turn, as Albert elected not to change her plea to an amended charge of misdemeanor abandoning and endangering children. Earlier this year, Albert was arrested and charged with Felony Child Abuse. The case will now proceed to trial and a pretrial conference will be scheduled in the immediate future. If convicted on the felony child abuse charge, Albert faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
