A Bismarck man accused of firing a gun toward a woman was sentenced Monday to three years of probation.

Burleigh County Assistant State's Attorney Marina Spahr presented an agreement that allowed Trevor Peterson to plead guilty to a reduced charge in connection with the May 29 shots fired incident in Bismarck.

Peterson, 19, initially faced charges of attempted murder and criminal mischief after he allegedly fired a gun multiple times outside an apartment building at 3110 E. Rosser Ave.

Peterson pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment and criminal mischief as part of the plea deal.

South Central District Judge Cynthia Feland accepted the agreement; however, Spahr and defense attorney William Kirschner disagreed on whether Peterson should be incarcerated.

Spahr said she'd recommend Peterson serve three years in jail. She also called three people to the stand who were involved in the shooting and asked the judge consider a jail sentence.
