BOISE – James Shaylor, 34, was sentenced Thursday for aggravated assault for threatening a victim with a knife, possessing a controlled substance, and injuring property.
Ada County District Judge Samuel Hoagland sentenced Mr. Shaylor to up to seven years in prison, but retained jurisdiction of Mr. Shaylor for up to one year. A no contact order with the victim was also ordered for ten years.
