Franklin, 30, entered a guilty plea before Circuit Court Judge Bart Stanley to the charge of aggravated assault and was ordered to serve 90 days of a three-year sentence. He was also warned to stay away from the victims. The charge of failure to appear in court was dismissed as part of the plea agreement.The felony charge grew out of a domestic issue between Franklin and his girlfriend at an Edgefield Street residence.“She (the girlfriend) said that Marco Franklin shoved her,” the woman told McMinnville police officer Matthew Stubblefield.The woman’s brother came to her aid.
