An Ironton man accused of assaulting another man outside of a local bar this past spring was found guilty Wednesday in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court.

Kenneth Pyles, 60, of 183 Township Road 1190, was arraigned on a bill of information of misdemeanor assault, to which he pleaded no contest.

The charge was the result of Pyles assaulting James Weber on March 25 outside the Auger Inn.

“I’m standing on the sidewalk and I light my cigarette and kapow. My lights went out,” Weber told the court Wednesday.

Weber said the two men got into an argument initially at the Knights of Columbus and said she suffered a broken ankle, scapula, a fractured cheek and a concussion as a result of the assault.

Mark McCown, Pyles attorney, said there was “serious provocation” on Weber’s part and the man made “offensive comments” to his client the night of the incident.

Judge Charles Cooper sentenced Pyles to three years community control sanctions with 180 days in jail reserved if he violates his probation.

Cooper also ordered that restitution be paid to Weber for his medical expenses. That amount has not yet been determined.
