A Superior man who barricaded himself overnight from sheriff’s deputies in October accepted a plea deal in March and has been sentenced to 18 months of probation.
Michael David Turner, 44, pleaded guilty to third-degree assault – knowing and recklessly causing injury and child abuse – knowing or recklessly causing no injury.
All other charges were dismissed as part of the deal. Turner received 18 months of probation for each charge and will serve those sentences concurrently.
According to a Boulder County Sheriff’s Office release, shortly after 5 p.m. Oct. 25 deputies responded to Turner’s home in the 2300 block of Rock Creek Parkway. Turner quickly barricaded himself inside the residence leading deputies to evacuate neighboring homes for safety.
At 5:30 a.m. Oct. 26, Turner was arrested and transported to a local hospital for medical clearance before being booked into Boulder County Jail.
