A Kalispell man faces a 10-year suspended sentence after pleading guilty to felony criminal endangerment.

John Bering, 43, entered the plea March 28 in Flathead District Court.

Originally he had been charged with felony burglary and two counts of felony partner or family member assault.

Bering originally was accused of entering his ex-wife’s camper on Sept. 30, 2013, “despite her repeated insistence that he was not welcome there,” before pushing her down onto a bed, striking her on the chest and injuring her wrist and back, according to a charging document in the burglary case.

In the two partner or family member assault cases, Bering was alleged to have assaulted the same woman on Aug. 24 and Nov. 16, 2013.

According to court documents, she suffered scratches on her face, left ear, neck and arms, a small cut above her left eye, red marks on her neck and a possible broken arm. She also lost consciousness in the November 2013 incident.

Bering’s history of assault includes convictions for partner or family member assault in February 2000, June 2006 and October 2006 as well as battery on a peace officer in January 2007 and two charges of failing to appear in court.

Bering’s plea came as part of an agreement that included dismissal of two of the three cases and an agreed-upon sentence of 10 years to the Montana Department of Corrections, all suspended.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for May 8.
