A man who attacked a Menards employee and a police officer was sentenced on Wednesday in McLeod County Court. Luke Alvin Oeltjenbruns, 61, of Hutchinson, was originally charged with 1st-degree assault for use of deadly force against a police officer, two counts of 2nd-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, and one count of fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle that resulted in substantial bodily harm, all felonies. As part of a plea deal, one count of 2nd-degree assault and fleeing a police officer were dismissed.
