Jonesboro Man Sentenced Prison After Pleading Guilty Beating Victim with Beer Bottle
MILITARY signal, reported in US, from kait8.com, with negative sentiment. Locations: Arkansas, United States, Jonesboro.
What Happened
A Jonesboro man, Guy Anthony Moreno, 31, was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree battery with a beer bottle. Judge Scott Ellington ordered 36 months in the Arkansas Division of Correction, with 29 days of jail time credit and 36 months of suspended sentence. Moreno must pay court costs, fees, and fines in $50 monthly installments post-release. The incident occurred on Sept. 27, when officers responded to a domestic disturbance at the 2500 block of Viking Street. The victim, lying on the pavement with severe head injuries, was attacked unprovoked by Moreno, who struck him twice with a beer bottle, shattering it and causing the victim to fall. Moreno then stomped on the victim’s head and abdomen and punched him repeatedly, resulting in nasal and eye socket fractures.
Why it matters
Moreno’s sentence includes a suspended term, meaning he will serve time only if he violates probation. The victim’s injuries were severe, including fractures to the nasal structure and eye socket, which could lead to long-term medical consequences. Moreno must pay court costs and fines after release, adding financial strain. The case highlights the risks of domestic violence and the legal consequences for perpetrators who use weapons like beer bottles.
