WOODSTOCK – A McHenry man who faced attempted-murder charges for trying to strangle his ex-girlfriend was sentenced Friday to six years in prison.

Steven Henshall, 45, pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated battery and one count of domestic battery, a misdemeanor, as part of the plea deal accepted by Judge Sharon Prather.
The charges of attempted murder and other counts, including unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful possession of marijuana, were dropped.

A charge of driving with a revoked license from an incident in 2011 also was dismissed.
