Man who threatened Dubuque officers with blade sentenced to probation, treatment facility
Just saw this today
A man who threatened Dubuque police officers with a blade recently was sentenced to probation and time at a treatment facility.
Terry J. Sproule Jr., 30, no permanent address, was sentenced in Iowa District Court for Dubuque County to five years of probation after pleading guilty to interference with official acts while displaying a dangerous weapon.
Sproule also was ordered to reside at a residential treatment facility for one year or until the First Judicial District Department of Corrections determines that he has earned maximum benefits for release.
Dubuque police officers said they were forced to use "less-lethal munition" and multiple stun gun blasts to subdue Sproule outside of a business at Fourth Street and Central Avenue on March 21.
And I of course shall jump out and hop on my well worn limb which I am shocked has not broken yet and guess this dude is white. Otherwise he probably would have gotten more than what he did, assuming he even made it to court in the first place.
