Anacondan Sentenced Five Years After Attack on Child
Jack Reiss of 710 Cherry Anaconda was sentenced to five years in state prison after pleading guilty to lewd acts on an eight year old Butte girl. The judge called the sentence maximum under the law. Police report the attacker forced entry into an ABC hotel room about 5 30 am and fled after the child’s mother intervened. He fought with Thomas L Gray in the passageway, then escaped, later arrested on the Anaconda highway after neighbors heard screams. The suspect said he had been drinking and had no recollection of the attack. The mother and Gray identified him. This followed another reported attempt on an eight year old on Butte's West Side.
