Logan • A Preston, Idaho, man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for holding a gun to a Utah woman's head and trying to stab her boyfriend after a period of stalking in 2014.

The Idaho State Journal reported that while Andrew Lesky was originally charged with attempted murder, a jury in October found him guilty of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated assault and illegal possession of a firearm.

Police say Lesky went to the woman's home in Logan and after a confrontation, he held a handgun to her head and pulled the trigger, but the gun reportedly misfired.

Lesky also tried to stab the woman's boyfriend. The knife cut the man's clothing but he wasn't hurt.

At last week's sentencing, Lesky acknowledged his actions were harmful to the victims.
