Rochester man pleads guilty to domestic assault, 3 of 10 DANCO violations

(ABC 6 News) – A Rochester man arrested after a foot chase in July pleaded guilty to domestic assault, as well as several Domestic Abuse No-Contact Order violations from over the summer.

Nicholas David Auringer, now 33, was arrested July 23 in the 5900 block of Bandel Road NW, and charged with domestic assault and fleeing a police officer on foot.

He was later charged with 10 counts of DANCO violation between late July and late August.

Auringer pleaded guilty to the July assault charge and three of the 10 DANCO violations. The remaining charges were dismissed, as were a drug possession charge, a 5th-degree assault charge, and a driving after license revocation charge from earlier in the year.

Auringer’s plea agreement indicates that he will serve about 23 months, as he has a previous conviction and the three charges stack.
