A Marion man who surrendered to the SWAT team after allegedly threatening several people with a gun over the summer received suspended sentences in January.
Facing one count of felony assault with a weapon, Christopher Martin Klett, 47, agreed to plead no contest to misdemeanor charges of negligent endangerment and resisting arrest on Jan. 9, the second day of his jury trial in Flathead County District Court.
Following the plea change, Judge Danni Coffman handed down a 12-month sentence to the county jail with all but 185 days suspended for negligent endangerment and a suspended six-month sentence for resisting arrest. She ordered the two sentences to run consecutively and gave Klett credit for 185 days of time served.
