A Lincoln man accused of beating another man after a car crash has taken a plea deal offered by prosecutors.
The 21-year-old Adrian Phillips pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of third-degree assault in Lancaster County District Court on Monday. He faces up to a year in prison.
Phillips was charged with a felony count of first-degree assault, which carries a prison sentence of up to 50 years.
Police say Phillips broke the other man’s jaw, leg and eye socket after the man hit the car that Phillips was riding in on May 29.
