(AP) — A Lincoln man has been sentenced to 240 days in jail for assault and threatening two women with a machete.
43-year-old Clarence Edwards II was sentenced Monday in Lancaster County District Court.
Police say Edwards punched a 21-year-old woman in the face during a parking lot confrontation. The woman told police that when she went to an apartment Edwards shared with another woman to tell her what happened, Edwards came at both the women with a machete. Police say the women barricaded themselves in a bedroom, and that Edwards hacked at the bedroom door with the machete and threatened to kill then on Jan. 16.
Edward received credit for 120 days already served, meaning he must serve another week in jail.
