ONAWA, Iowa (AP) – A 23-year-old has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge stemming from the shooting of another man in western Iowa. The Sioux City Journal reports that Joshua Beam, of Arion, was convicted last week of reckless use of a firearm. Prosecutors had lowered the original charge and dropped others after making a deal with Beam. His sentencing date hasn’t been set.

The Monona County Sheriff’s Office says Beam was arrested in December in Mapleton after authorities found Eric Franco with a gunshot wound to the head. Authorities say Beam and Franco had consumed alcohol and then began to wrestle. Authorities say Beam pulled out a handgun and fired three shots. One struck Franco.
