PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- A 45-year-old man has been sentenced to five years after pleading guilty to three felony charges, including a charge for strangulation in a child abuse case.

According to the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office (PCSO), Clinton Walker pleaded guilty to the following charges:

• Second-degree strangulation of a 13-year-old boy
• Second-degree assault of a peace officer
