Court Report

SUPERIOR COURT

John F. Strohmaier, Judge

Criminal Sentencing

Jimmy Lynn Gilmore, Jr., 41, Airway Heights, pleaded guilty Sept. 29 to second-degree assault (domestic violence) with intent to do substantial bodily harm. His sentence includes 90 days confinement with 54 credited as served, $975 court costs plus undetermined restitution and attorney fees, 12 months community custody, compliance with a five-year no-contact order protecting the victim, and prohibitions against having or using firearms, alcohol, marijuana and non-prescribed drugs. The charge involves an Aug. 8 incident at the Porcupine Bay campground that resulted in a woman suffering a fractured right nasal bone and other injuries. A responding deputy wrote that despite knowing the alleged victim for several years, he initially did not recognize her due to the extent of her injury. Appearing in court as the case was finalized, Gilmore apologized and attributed his actions to problems with alcohol. The judge characterized the crime as “a very vicious attack with blood apparently everywhere.”
