Published December 20, 2008 01:06 am -  Man granted program sentence in assault caseA 34-year-old man was sentenced Friday to three years in prison under Missouri’s shock-incarceration program for pointing a gun at another man’s head in a Joplin bar and threatening to kill him.
Randy D. Kraft, 3305 Cherry Road, pleaded guilty in Jasper County Circuit Court to a charge of second-degree assault in a plea agreement limiting the prison time he might be required to serve to no more than three years. Circuit Judge David Mouton accepted the plea agreement and sentenced Kraft to three years, with 120 days of shock incarceration to be served prior to the court reviewing the case for possible placement on probation. The judge cited a prior conviction Kraft had for unlawful use of a weapon in deciding to sentence him to shock incarceration instead of giving him a suspended sentence. A probable-cause affidavit states that in the assault case, Kraft pointed a loaded handgun April 18 at the head of Gary D. Updegraff inside Cotton & Irene’s bar on West Seventh Street and threatened to shoot him. A bystander wrestled Kraft to the floor before any shot was fired, according to the affidavit.
