LISBON - A Lisbon man sentenced to at least nine years in prison for threatening to kill a woman while choking her and punching her last fall has appealed his sentence.

Frederick E. Krueger, 35, Shelby Road, is appealing his punishment after Columbiana County Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Washam found him guilty during a trial to the court in August.

Washam sentenced him to six years for felonious assault, a second-degree felony, plus an additional three years for strangulation, a third-degree felony, bringing the minimum total to nine years.

A 180-day term in the county jail for misdemeanor aggravated menacing was ordered served at the same time as the prison sentence. Two counts of misdemeanor domestic violence merged with the other charges for sentencing.

Krueger received credit for 28 days served.

The maximum imprisonment he could face could be up to 12 years if the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections decides to tack on an additional three years for the felonious assault charge, which carries in indefinite sentence of six to nine years.

The incident occurred Oct. 4 in Center Township when Krueger threatened to kill a woman and put both hands around her neck and choked her, putting his fingers in her mouth as she gasped for air. He also punched her multiple times in the face. He was found lying on his belly in a wooded area of the property trying to hide from deputies.

The victim was transported to St. Elizabeth Hospital in Youngstown by Hanover Township EMS due to her injuries.
