Aggravated assault charge dismissed in June gun case

An aggravated assault charge stemming from a June confrontation between neighbors has been dismissed following a plea agreement in White County General Sessions Court.

The case began with a late-night call to deputies about an intoxicated man allegedly pointing a firearm at someone outside a Sparta residence. Five months later, the defendant has pleaded to a weapons-related charge, bringing the case to a close in General Sessions Court.
