Shaw has said he punched Goss after a heated discussion on local finances. His wife, Lavern, was also charged with assault in the confrontation.
An order filed Wednesday says Shaw’s 30-day sentence has been suspended and he’s ordered to serve 12 months of unsupervised probation and pay several fines.
