(Atlantic) An Atlantic man has been sentenced to prison for the charge of Willful Injury.
According to court records, 20-year-old Michael Gehling reached a plea agreement on May 6th, pleading guilty to the charge of Willful Injury. The court dismissed the Attempted Murder charge. This charge stems from a stabbing incident near 6th and Pine Streets in Atlantic on April 4th. Gehling was sentenced to five years in prison for the charge of Willful Injury.
The sentence will run concurrent with another case in which Gehling was sentenced to a total of nine years in prison for the charges of Burglary 3rd Degree, Criminal Mischief 2nd Degree and Theft 3rd Degree. These charges stem from an incident in February when officers were called to investigate a broken store window at 200 Chestnut Street.
