YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – A plea deal was reached in court for the man accused of shooting at a Yuma County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO) helicopter.

51-year-old Mubarak Prince of Dateland pleaded guilty Tuesday to one felony count of disorderly conduct with a deadly weapon.

The presumptive sentence is one year, with a minimum of six months.

Back in June, deputies say Prince fired at an unmarked YCSO helicopter, and says the aircraft was damaged, but thankfully no one was hurt.

Originally, Prince faced three attempted murder charges, but those were not filed

He will return to court for sentencing next month.
