Legal matters: Restraining order fails to stop domestic assault

A Bend man has been sentenced to a year-and-a-half of probation after pleading guilty to attacking a Silverton man with a stick while the victim had an active restraining order against him.

Brandon Lynn Rogers, 42, pleaded guilty Nov. 9 in Marion County Circuit Court to attempted unlawful use of a weapon and contempt of court. 

He was sentenced to 50 days in jail with credit for the 52 days he was held on the charge, as well as 18 months of probation.

Rogers allegedly attacked the victim with a stick during a domestic violence incident April 1. The victim had an active restraining order against Rogers.

While on probation, Rogers may not contact the victim or else could be sentenced to six months in jail. He must also complete an anger management program.
