(AP) — A jury has found a Scottsbluff man guilty of second-degree assault in connection with a bat attack.

The Scotts Bluff County District Court jury returned the verdict Thursday for 28-year-old Roy Little Eagle. They deliberated for several hours.

Little Eagle was accused of repeatedly hitting a person with a baseball bat and was arrested in June. He was on parole at the time for a burglary and theft case.

Little Eagle was arrested after he was identified in photo lineup by both the victim and a witness. He will be sentenced on Nov. 22.
