A Lancaster man was sentenced to a county prison term on Tuesday after previously pleading guilty to a charge of simple assault.

Eugene Lee Danner, 56, was sentenced by Judge Joseph J. Matika to serve three to 18 months in the county prison. However, the start of the sentence was deferred to Aug. 1 at 9 a.m. because of continuing health problems being addressed by the defendant.Danner was charged for an incident that occurred at 11:15 p.m. on Aug. 4, 2014. Summit Hill police responded to 233 W. White Bear Drive for a reported assault on a woman. On scene officers found the victim had been assaulted. It was the result of a domestic incident. Danner and the woman had a relationship that has since ended.Danner is currently on parole in Lancaster County. He also has a long prior criminal record that put him in a sentencing range that required a prison term.In addition to the jail term, Danner was ordered to make total restitution of $473.01, pay court costs of about $1,000, pay a $50 per month supervision fee when released on parole, and have no contact with the victim.
