A man from Niles, who took aim on firefighters with a BB gun received jail time and probation in Berrien County Court.

The incident happened in early January in Niles. His defense attorney said 35-year-old Charles Dortch was having a “bad day.”

Dortch apologized and admitted that something bad could have happened. He pleaded guilty to attempted assault with a dangerous weapon.

He was sentenced to two years of probation, along with a 20-day jail term, and was also ordered to pay fines and costs. Leader Publications reports he also received a concurrent 10-day jail sentence for contempt of court due to violating his bond earlier in the year by consuming alcohol despite being ordered not to.
