BUTTE — An Anaconda man appeared in Butte court Thursday in connection with a sucker-punch assault at a Butte bar earlier this year.
Brandon Fode pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of aggravated assault. He's accused of punching a man twice in the face, as seen in the security video taken from inside the Party Palace bar in Butte the evening of Sept. 22.
