A Norman man recently convicted of five felony charges stemming from his involvement in an incident in 2014 faces a sentencing hearing at 9 a.m. April 7 in Jackson Circuit Court.

A 12-member panel convicted Tony David Mitchell of Class B felony charges of attempted aggravated battery and aggravated battery and Class C felony charges of battery by means of a deadly weapon, battery resulting in serious bodily injury and criminal recklessness.

The jury returned a not-guilty verdict against Mitchell on a sixth charge of attempted murder in connection with the incident that occurred in May 2014 in the 12800 block of West County Road 650N.

According to court documents, the first officers responding to the incident that day found a 41-year-old Bedford man suffering from a wound to his arm that had been caused by a knife. The man was near his wrecked vehicle on Hickory Grove Road in Lawrence County.

The man told police he had wrecked the vehicle while fleeing for his safety from West County Road 650N, where an argument between him and Mitchell had occurred.

During that argument, the man was asked to leave, and while doing so, witnesses reported Mitchell stabbed or cut him.

Mitchell then fired a warning shot from a .410 shotgun into the air and also fired as many as two more rounds at the man, with one of them striking the window of the vehicle the man was driving.

The cause of the argument was not clear, although Mitchell said the two had been roommates at one time.

That man told police he felt like the right side of his face was on fire, and if the shot had been 6 inches over, it would have hit him in the head.

After the wreck, the man was taken to a Bloomington hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and released, polices said at the time.

Interviews conducted by the investigators led them to believe he was in the process of leaving and did not provoke the attack.

Mitchell later turned himself in to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
