An Athol man was sentenced Thursday to a 10-year prison sentence with parole eligibility after five years for felony domestic battery.
Derick Wayne Brunke, 37, was previously convicted of felony domestic battery and possession of marijuana. The charges stem from an incident July 3, 2024, when officers investigated allegations that Brunke threw his then-significant other onto a bed, pulled her hair, punched her in the head and strangled her, causing her traumatic injuries, according to a press release from the Kootenai County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
