Anthony Coleman was sentenced to 12 months' probation, 80 hours of community service, a required anger and violence evaluation, and a $600 fine. He waived his right to a jury trial on Wednesday and agreed to admit to one count of simple assault.

Coleman was arrested Dec. 2 in the incident, which occurred Sept. 22. Authorities say he and Lewis argued after a city redistricting committee meeting.
