Freeborn County District Court Judge John A. Chesterman on Monday sentenced 40-year-old Juan Antonio Altamirano to 90 days in jail for striking another man under the chin with a knife during an altercation on West College Street in April.

Altamirano, of Albert Lea, pleaded guilty to fifth-degree assault in August as part of a plea agreement between his lawyer and the Freeborn County Attorney’s Office.

He was originally charged with second-degree assault stemming from the altercation, which started over owed money, according to court documents.

Altamirano will get credit for time already served in the Freeborn County jail and will be eligible for Huber work release.

He must pay $280 in restitution plus an $80 court fee.

He has previously been convicted of third-degree theft, second-degree assault, fifth-degree assault and violation of orders for protection, among a driving charge.
