Anthony Lee Davis, 27, Minot, will serve about two years in prison for brandishing a gun at a resident in a northwest Minot apartment building on April 21 and for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The state agreed to dismiss a Class B felony charge of possession of ecstasy while in possession of a firearm and Class A misdemeanor providing false information to law enforcement.

Davis will also serve about two years for charges dating back to last September, including felon in possession of a firearm, possession of a controlled substance, and escape, all Class C felonies.

His probation in another case was also revoked and Davis was sentenced to two years flat time, concurrent with the sentences in the other cases.

According to court documents, Davis had been involved in a shooting incident on April 21 prior to going back to the other address and brandishing a gun at a man. Earlier in the evening, Davis had reportedly fired shots at Timothy Devon Lewis after Lewis had fired shots at an occupied residence. Davis then fled the scene and went to the apartment building and brandished the gun. No one was injured in any of the incidents. Lewis has been charged with A felony attempted murder as well as eight counts of reckless endangerment and eight counts of terrorizing, all Class C felonies.

Judge Stacy Louser sentenced Davis on Friday to a total of five years in prison, with a requirement that he serve two years, followed by three years of supervised probation. He was ordered to surrender the weapons for destruction and to pay court costs and to stay away from the victims. Davis will receive credit for the 89 days he has served in jail plus time off for good behavior. He must serve a minimum of two years because a weapon was involved.

Ward County State’s Attorney Roza Larson said the plea deal was offered because of the circumstances.

All of the sentences are concurrent.

Louser called it a “generous” offer and told Davis that retaliation is not a good choice. Davis agreed.
