5/24/13 - There will be no further jail time for a former Handy Township man charged after an incident last year in which he was alleged to have threatened his childrenâs fingers with a knife. 35-year-old Henry Stephen Spisz was ordered Thursday to serve six months of electronic monitoring and three years of probation for his no contest plea last month to two counts of felonious assault for the incident last Thanksgiving. He was also ordered to serve 55 days in jail, but given credit for already serving that time. Police say Spisz held a knife to the fingers of his then-5-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son and threatening to cut them off for misbehaving. In exchange for his plea, two domestic violence-related counts were dismissed, and the prosecution made the recommendation for probation while completing domestic-violence counseling and parenting classes.
