A Decorah man has been sentenced to two years probation in a case involving an ATV crash on July 31st.

38-year-old Jayme Kimber entered a guilty plea in Winneshiek County court to three counts of first degree harassment, then was sentenced to two years probation.

Kimber originally was charged with two felony counts of Going Armed with Intent to Harm, one count of Aggravated Assault While Displaying a Dangerous Weapon, and one count of Reckless Driving.

Sheriff's Deputies were called July 31st to the scene of an ATV accident on 155th Avenue.  Deputies were able to locate the accident, but not the driver.  A couple of hours later, they received another 9-1-1 call, this one from a residence on Middle Sattre Road near the area of the accident.  When deputies arrived, they learned the driver of the ATV was armed somewhere on the property and threatening to do harm to others.  Deputies located Kimber in a shed among hay bales and took him into custody without incident.
