MINOT, N.D. – Eddie Lee Coleman, 36, Minot, was acquitted by a jury on Tuesday of assaulting a police officer on Nov. 23, 2018, but found guilty of Class C felony resisting arrest in connection with the same incident.
North Central District Court Judge Todd Cresap deferred sentencing on the preventing arrest charge for nine months and gave Coleman credit for the two weeks he served in jail.
