GRAND FORKS, N.D., Feb. 15 (UPI) -- A North Dakota man who admitted shooting a TV because he was angry about the volume has been sentenced to six months in jail.
Daryl Lee Nikle, 56, of Grand Forks, pleaded guilty in Grand Forks County District Court to a charge of reckless endangerment and the court ruled he will receive credit for time served and will be able to serve the remainder of the sentence on electronic home monitoring or work release, the Grand Forks Herald reported Wednesday.
Police said Nikle asked three people in his home to turn down the volume on the TV just after 4 a.m. Oct. 2, and fired his .44 Magnum handgun at the set when they refused. Investigators said the bullet went through the wall of his home.
Nikle was also ordered to undergo a chemical dependency evaluation.
