In a rare Sunday court hearing, James Franklin Cook pleaded guilty to assault with intent to murder, five counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, assaulting an officer causing serious impairment and possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony.
The charges come from incidents that took place in May 2015, in and around Boyne City, Michigan. In total, Cook has pleaded guilty to 13 felonies.
The most serious charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison for assault with intent to murder a deputy sheriff. Cook also pleaded guilty to using a dangerous weapon to assault other officers at the scene.
Because it was determined the matter was pressing and necessary – the hearing was held Sunday. Cook’s sentencing is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 2.
