Ex-convict gets 14 days for disturbing the peace of wife

Superior Court Judge Kenneth Govendo sentenced Dhakal to six months imprisonment for disturbing the peace, all suspended except for 14 days.

Dhakal will pay a $250 fine, and all court costs and probation fees.

He will not possess or consume alcohol during his probationary period, and will submit to random blood, breath or urine tests.

Dhakal will submit to a mental examination focusing on anger management, and will abide by whatever treatment recommended.

Dhakal was arrested for assaulting his wife and their 13-year-old son when the defendant learned that she allowed their son’s two friends to sleep over at their Dandan house on March 26, 2011.

The other charges of child abuse and two counts of assault and battery were dismissed with prejudice by the court as part of the plea agreement.

The prosecution also agreed not to move to revoke Dhakal’s probation in his other criminal conviction that also victimized his wife.

Last year, Dhakal admitted the charge of assault and battery which was a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.

The Superior Court sentenced Dhakal to six months imprisonment, all suspended except for 11 days with credit for time served.

Dhakal was also placed on one year probation.

Dhakal punched his wife’s wounded ankle and her body at their residence in Dandan, police said.

Dhakal was upset when his wife requested him to help her son who was doing his homework, police added.
