Attorney Jack Gullo previously told the town counselors that Rodney Davis had "pleaded guilty to first-degree assault, which is a felony, and malicious destruction of property," during the then-suspect's court status-hearing, and predicted that Davis was definitely going to see a serious jail sentence, stating then, "You can read between the lines that Mr. Davis is likely to be incarcerated for some period of time for the act of violence committed against the city."

State Circuit Court Judge Fred Hecker sentenced Davis to ten years in prison for first-degree assault, with all but 18 months suspended, and three years in prison for malicious destruction of property, with all but 18 months suspended, both 18-month sentences to be served concurrently.

In addition, Davis was ordered to pay the amount of the more than $50,000 in damages for restitution. Exterior and interior damage repairs to the town offices were completed in August, nearly a year after Davis drove his truck into the front of the building, reportedly after having become angered that the city had cut his water service off.

Councilman Joe Vigliotti, who represented the city government at Davis' sentencing hearing, read, at September's meeting, some of the statement he had presented at the court, stating, "I was on the scene within moments of the attack … the areas destroyed by Mr. Davis, the lobby and the front office, were so totally wrecked that little was recognizable. Wooden desks were reduced to splinters. Equipment was broken into pieces. Walls disappeared."

"Only moments before Mr. Davis attacked City Hall, our IT (information technology) department assistant was present in the lobby and could have been killed." he said. "No fewer than three human beings could have been in that office … the memory of what happened lingers with those who work for the city," adding, "You do not expect your workplace to be a target for violence … but Mr. Davis has irrevocably taken away that security."

Mayor Bradley Wantz had called Davis' assault on City Hall "nothing less than a terroristic attack on the city" in the immediate aftermath of the destruction.

Attorney Gullo said, "Realize that, while this chapter is over, for our employees this will never be over. It'll fade with time, but even going back into town hall, as beautiful as the city manager has described it, is full of trepidation."
