He had thrown a cup of water on U.S. Rep. Steve King while the lawmaker was eating lunch.
In March of 2019, the Webster County attorney charged Gibbins with simple assault and disorderly conduct after he threw a cup of water on U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Kiron, while the lawmaker was eating lunch at the Mineral City Mill and Grill restaurant in Fort Dodge.
In his plea deal, Gibbins and the defense recommended one year of probation as punishment. The Jefferson, Iowa, native could have been incarcerated for up to one year for the crime, court records show. Gibbins' attorney, Paul Statler, said Strand, who seemed to be weighing incarceration over probation, gave the case"considerable contemplation."
