CLEARFIELD- A state trooper acquitted of aggravated assault and terroristic threats after a recent trial was sentenced for a lesser charge Tuesday in Clearfield County Court.
After the October trial, the jury did find Terry Drew Jordan, 47, of Clearfield guilty of simple assault.
On Tuesday Judge Fredric J. Ammerman sentenced him to 168 days (time served) to one year in jail and one year consecutive probation.
He must undergo a drug/alcohol assessment and complete anger management classes. It was noted this is a domestic violence case with Jordan ordered to have no contact with the victim, other than court appearances for divorce proceedings. He was fined $200 plus costs.
The charges stem from an incident at Jordan’s home April 21. His wife reported that he assaulted her, held a gun to her head and threatened to kill her.
During the trial, Jordan testified that they were having a fight over his affair. He said she was the aggressor and he was only acting in self-defense.
The victim suffered a right rib fracture, multiple contusions, trauma to her abdomen, trauma to her back and had scratches on her neck.
Jordan was incarcerated from the time of the incident until after the trial.
