A defendant pleaded guilty to assault and destruction of property on July 9, receiving a 90-day suspended sentence.
The defendant, who was convicted in a domestic violence case, admitted to punching his ex-boyfriend in the face, breaking into his house and smashing a microwave oven and refrigerator.
The defendant has to serve 12 months on probation for the crimes. During probation he is required to undergo drug and alcohol testing and a mental health assessment.
The prosecution also asked that Russell be ordered to stay away from a store that was part of another case.
Judge Maribeth Raffinan did not grant the request since that case is now closed, but she did issue a stay away order from the victim.
