(Minot, ND) — A Minot man will spend a decade in prison for assaulting a woman and a child. Thirty-four-year-old Troy Sanders pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted murder after attacking and choking the unidentified victims last September. Investigators say the man tried choking the woman and child unconscious, as a bystander was able to stop the attack while police arrived on the scene. Authorities haven’t disclosed if the victims were related. This week, Sanders received a ten-year prison sentence for assaulting the child and a 20-year suspended sentence for attacking the woman.
