A 24-year-old Harvard man was sentenced to prison Thursday in connection with 2019 felony domestic battery charges.

Oscar Sanchez Jr. accepted an offer from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and pleaded guilty to one count of domestic battery, according to a news release the state’s attorney’s office issued Friday.

McHenry County Judge Michael Coppedge accepted the plea and sentenced Sanchez to 3 1/2 years in prison, according to the release. In exchange for Sanchez’s guilty plea, prosecutors agreed to dismiss additional counts of domestic battery.
