Rather than face a jury of his peers, a Bay City man charged with repeatedly assaulting his girlfriend in a single night has accepted a plea deal. Jason A. Davies, 37, on Tuesday appeared in Bay County Circuit Court and pleaded no contest to one count of assault with a dangerous weapon, a felony punishable by up to four years in prison. Prosecutors agreed to dismiss single counts of assault with intent to cause harm less than murder and domestic violence, court records show. A no contest plea is not an admission of guilt but is treated as such for purposes of sentencing. Davies’ trial was to start the day he pleaded. Davies on June 6 reportedly took his girlfriend, Kayla Pozenel, to a Bay City bar, where the two began arguing. They left and as they headed for home in their car, Davies slapped Pozenel repeatedly and eventually pulled over, dragged Pozenel from the vehicle and hauled her into a patch of woods, court records show.
