COEUR d'ALENE - A 27-year-old North Idaho businessman has been sentenced to 10 days in jail for carrying a concealed weapon while under the influence.

Adam M. Johnson was charged in Kootenai County in connection with a shooting in downtown Coeur d'Alene in December 2009. He was the alleged shooter in that confrontation, which sent two Moses Lake, Wash., men to the hospital.

Judge Scott Wayman gave Johnson 180 days in jail with 170 days suspended. Wayman also gave Johnson two years of probation and required him to obtain a substance abuse evaluation. He was sentenced May 16, after pleading guilty to the weapon charge, court documents said.

His attorney, Larry Purviance, didn't return a message seeking comment.

Johnson, known for his work as founder of the Coeur d'Alene-based telecommunications company Convertec, is listed as a member of the board of directors at the Post Falls Chamber of Commerce.

A grand jury in Kootenai County decided after the shooting that Johnson would not stand trial on felony charges of attempted murder and aggravated battery.

The misdemeanor charge was filed by the city of Coeur d'Alene in January.

Johnson was facing decades in prison for allegedly shooting Brandon J. Burgess in the stomach and Bradley J. Phillips below the kneecap outside a downtown Coeur d'Alene bar near the intersection of Sherman Avenue and Third Street. Both Burgess and Phillips were 25 years old at the time of the shooting.

Burgess was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, and Phillips was treated at Kootenai Medical Center.

Witness accounts of the shooting given to police varied widely.

Johnson also was arrested in April of this year for alleged drug activities.

Johnson was located inside a Post Falls home raided by police. In the bedroom he was in, investigators found a syringe loaded with a brown liquid that they believe was heroin.
