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. Â 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.
