An Amboy woman received a stayed jail sentence this month after pleading down to a gross misdemeanor harassment charge.
Forty three year old Sarah Marie Eccles won’t serve a 364 day jail sentence if she completes one year of unsupervised probation. She received the sentence in Blue Earth County District Court in early August.
Eccles’ case stems from a May 2022 incident in which a man accused her of pointing a crossbow at him. She was initially charged with felony second degree assault and misdemeanor reckless use of a dangerous weapon.
The assault charge was lowered to gross misdemeanor harassment causing reasonable fear of substantial body harm, while the reckless use of a dangerous weapon charge was dismissed.
