The man accused of threatening people with a gun and firing shots outside of a bar in Juliaetta has been sentenced after reaching a plea agreement with prosecutors.
38-year-old Zachary Williams of Juliaetta pleaded guilty to misdemeanor unlawful discharge of a firearm in Latah County Second District Court. Williams was sentenced this week to a year of probation by Magistrate Judge Megan Marshall.
Williams was initially charged with felony aggravated assault for allegedly threatening people with a handgun during a disturbance inside Bottoms Up. The Latah County Prosecutor’s Office says evidence supported Williams statement that he was acting in self-defense inside the bar. He told deputies he was punched by another man inside the bar. Witnesses said they heard shots outside the bar when Williams left.
