A turkey hunter from Leeds will serve no jail time but must speak about hunter safety, forfeit his shotgun and pay nearly $11,000 after a shooting last fall that injured a woman’s face and neck. Timothy H. Jacobs, 62, was indicted by the Androscoggin County grand jury in January on one count each of aggravated assault with a firearm and reckless conduct with a firearm, both felonies, and a misdemeanor charge of assault while hunting. In a plea agreement, Jacobs on Thursday pleaded guilty to reckless conduct with a firearm, a Class C crime, and to the Class D assault charge. The agreement calls for a deferred disposition for one year. If Jacobs, abides by the conditions, those charges will be dismissed and he will plead guilty to reckless conduct and pay a $750 fine.
