TRAVERSE CITY, MI (AP)-- A former Ishpeming and Traverse City city manager has received probation in connection with an alcohol-related incident at his Traverse City home.
TV station WPBN-WTOM reports that JeredOttenwess was sentenced Monday to two years' probation on domestic violence and attempted assault charges.
Probation guidelines prohibit alcohol or drug use, and say Ottenwess can't enter a bar or establishment that serves alcohol.
Ottenwess had pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges earlier this month. He had resigned as city manager.
Police were called Feb. 16 after Ottenwess' mother reported he had been drinking for four days and "ripping up our house."
Officer Mark Witczak says he was poised to use his Taser after Ottenwess clenched his fists. He says Ottenwess then "fell to his knees and started to cry."
