11/2 - Man enters Alford plea in woman’s assault

BALTIMORE (AP) — A man accused of killing a former Baltimore police commissioner’s stepdaughter has entered an Alford plea to assault.

Thirty-six-year-old Joseph Bonds was sentenced Tuesday to 25 years in prison, with all but eight years suspended.

Assistant State’s Attorney Lisa Goldberg told the court a witness said Bonds and 39-year-old Nicole Desiree Sesker got into an argument over drugs and he pushed her against a wall in June 2008.
