A Snowmass Village man who repeatedly assaulted police officers while intoxicated last summer will spend the next four years on probation.
Cody Morrison, 31, pleaded guilty Monday to felony second-degree assault on a police officer and misdemeanor third-degree assault in exchange for a plea deal that calls for the felony charge to be removed from his record if he completes the probationary period without getting into more trouble.
In addition to the four years of probation, Morrison will also have to serve 60 days in jail, complete 40 hours of community service and undergo both an alcohol and substance abuse evaluation and a mental health evaluation, according to the sentence handed down by District Judge Chris Seldin.
