Man gets 1 year for stabbing teen

Posted on Sep 23 2008

The Superior Court has imposed a one-year prison term on a man who repeatedly stabbed a teenager with a knife during a fight outside a house in Kagman.

Associate Judge David A. Wiseman sentenced Eddie Ngirngesang to three years in prison, all suspended except for 12 months, for aggravated assault and battery.

Following a plea agreement, Wiseman gave the 23-year-old Ngirngesang credit for the one year he had already served in jail.

The defendant was placed under five years of supervised probation.

The judge ordered the defendant to pay $2,626.48 in restitution for medical bills incurred by the victim, Christopher Doses Kin.

Ngirngesang was also directed to pay a $500 fine, $125 in court assessment fee plus probation fee. In addition he was required to perform 120 hours of community service and write a letter of apology to the victim.

The defendant signed a plea agreement and pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and battery.
