Nicolas Shampine, 33, is found guilty of allegedly beating 45-year-old James Compton with a 6 iron.
Last July a disagreement broke out at the Auburn Golf Course between two parties after Compton's party complained to the greens marshal that Shampine's party was taking too long at each hole and Shampine's group was upset that Compton's party was too loud.
After a verbal argument the confrontation turned physical with shoving match that ended with Shampine striking Compton in the left temple with the golf club. The bloody blow laid out Compton requiring him to be airlifted Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for emergency surgery. Compton sustained a bruised brain, a skull fracture and a broken cheekbone from the malice attack from Shampine. Shampine was arrested by the Auburn police at the golf course with no hesitation.
Shampine has no previous criminal convictions but now faces a sentence range of 15 to 21 months in prison. Members of Compton's party told police that as Compton laid on the ground, Shampine threatened to kill all of them and their families if they messed with him.
The unfortunate James Compton didn't even make it to the 18th hole. Police officers found Compton on the 14th green profusely bleeding from the head and vomiting as a friend was applying pressure to his injury with a blood-soaked towel.
