COLUMBUS — A Platte Center man charged with attacking his boss over a paycheck dispute is going to prison.

Michael Dennis, 28, was accused of threatening to shoot Joshua Slonecker with a shotgun and then using the gun to strike his face and open gashes on his eye last September.

Dennis pleaded no contest to attempted second-degree assault and terrorist threats in January.

Billy Ray Valentine: [watches Louis clean his shotgun] You know, you can't just go around and shoot people in the kneecaps with a double-barreled shotgun 'cause you pissed at 'em.
Louis Winthorpe III: Why not?
Billy Ray Valentine: 'Cause it's called assault with a deadly weapon, you get 20 years for that shit.
Louis Winthorpe III: Listen, do you have any better ideas?
Billy Ray Valentine: Yeah. You know, it occurs to me that the best way you hurt rich people is by turning them into poor people.
Coleman: You have to admit, sir, you didn't like it yourself a bit.
