O'Neill man fined for domestic assault, felony charge dropped

An O’Neill man was sentenced by the Honorable Mark Kozisek in the Holt County district courtroom last Monday, March 29, for a 2019 crime.

Ceaser A. Leon, 31, was fined $500 for committing third-degree domestic assault, a Class 3 misdemeanor committed Oct. 20, 2019.

Leon pleaded guilty last November after reaching a plea deal with Holt County prosecutor Brent Kelly. In return Kelly dropped a felony strangulation charge.
