Fuhrmaneck pleaded no contest to one count of Simple Assault on Federal Property and faces up to six months in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.

Last June, Fuhrmaneck engaged in a verbal and physical confrontation with employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs in an outpatient clinic in Sutton.

His plea of no contest, which has the same legal effect as a guilty plea, was accepted over the objection of the government.

The Department of Veterans Affairs Police led the investigation.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Cogar is prosecuted the case.
