SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A man shot by police during a standoff in Sioux City earlier this year has been sentenced to 10 days in jail after pleading guilty to two counts.

The Sioux City Journal reports (https://bit.ly/2gSFK4a ) that 44-year-old Lee Fischer pleaded guilty Tuesday to intimidation with a dangerous weapon and domestic abuse assault. In exchange, prosecutors dropped a charge of assaulting a police officer.

Fischer also received a suspended five-year prison sentence, three years’ probation and an order to continue substance abuse treatment.

Police were called March 5 about a man firing a gun inside his home while his ex-wife was there. Fischer emerged from the home hours later with a gun and was shot by an officer when he refused to drop it. The woman was not injured.
