KANSAS CITY, Mo. Greg Hallgrimson was sentenced Friday in the case in which authorities say he punched and knocked his ex-wife unconscious in June 2020, the Kansas City Star reported. Greenwood is about 20 miles southeast of Kansas City. A federal judge subsequently sentenced Hallgrimson, who pleaded guilty to violating the civil rights of the father, to five years of probation. Defense attorneys for Hallgrimson had argued that Hallgrimson was not the initial aggressor because he was slapped first.
