A Lapwai man was sentenced to 27 months in federal prison Tuesday for assaulting a woman because he believed she had taken apple cider vinegar from him.

Jason Bryon Redheart, 60, attacked a 64-year-old woman with a metal baseball bat in January 2018, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Redheart apologized in court and his lawyers asked for no prison time given his clean record, but the judge said such a violent attack deserved prison time.

Following his 27-month term, Redheart will be under supervised release for three years.
