A 34-year-old Sedalia man facing multiple felony charges after a reported disturbance on October 11, 2021, changed his plea and was sentenced in court this month.

A Sedalia Police report says the resident who reported the incident said somebody was trying to get into his residence and a gun was somehow involved. Upon arrival, one man was seen holding another man on the ground. The officer located the pistol, which contained two rounds of ammunition in the magazine and one in the chamber.
