Guilty Plea to Knife Charge
The Champion man arrested after a bar fight in Ishpeming in January pleads guilty to a knife-related charge.
48–year–old John Joyner has pleaded guilty to possession or sale of a switchblade.
He was punished with $783 in fines.
Joyner won’t have to serve any probation or any further jail time.
He was originally charged with felony assault with a dangerous weapon and two misdemeanors.
