James Dinsmore, 29, is making a deal in Allen County, this time on an attempted murder charge out of Lima. Dinsmore pleaded guilty to one count of felonious assault. As part of the plea deal the charge of attempted murder and another felonious assault where dropped. Judge David Cheney sentenced him to four years in jail, to be served after the life sentence he will be serving for the death of Charles Hicks in Auglaize County. He pleaded guilty to aggravated murder last week in that case. The charges in Allen County are from an October 2014 domestic dispute with his 27 year old girlfriend Natasha Gilbert. According to police, Dinsmore stabbed Gilbert with a knife several times in the upper torso.
