REXBURG, Idaho (AP) — A 41-year-old Rexburg man has been sentenced to up to 10 years in prison for attempting to strangle his teenage daughter and hitting his wife.

The Standard Journal reports that Dale Quincent Jerome Davis was sentenced Monday, with 7th District Judge Greg Moeller saying he would be eligible for parole after two years.

Police said Davis was intoxicated on Aug. 2 when an argument over his daughter's boyfriend erupted. Police said that after his wife and daughter fled their apartment, he chased them with a gun.

Davis entered a modified guilty plea to attempted strangulation and domestic battery in October, acknowledging that there was enough evidence to convict him without admitting guilt.

Welcome to the discussion.
