WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - A man from Wilmington pleaded guilty Thursday to assaulting a man with an ice pick earlier this year.
In New Hanover County Superior Court, 59-year-old Curtis Malloy pleaded guilty to assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and possession of a firearm by a felon. He was sentenced to serve 70-105 months.
