Cherokee County Man Sentenced to 10 Years

 

A Cherokee County man is sentenced to over 10 years in prison. On Tuesday, 63-year-old James Dean Hignite was sentenced to 124 months after pleading guilty to 2 counts of aggravated battery and one count of aggravated domestic battery.

 

In December 2019, Cherokee County Sheriff's deputies and investigators responded to a rural location outside of Galena. A woman, who fled the home, reported sustaining significant injuries and being held against her will during a multi-day attack. After an investigation, detectives arrested Hignite.
