Normally aggravated assault is punishable by up to 10 years in prison, however with the habitual criminal tag, Thompson could end up behind bars for 10-to-50 years.

His prior criminal history includes convictions out of Cheyenne for felony drug possession and domestic battery.

Thompson is being held without bond and will be sentenced at a later date.
