The Jackson County District Attorney’s Office says Jackson Dempsey is due in court in Medford on Wednesday morning to change his not guilty pleas.

Deputy District Attorney Alisa Ray says Dempsey has reached a plea agreement, but the charges and recommended sentence will not be disclosed until the hearing.

Dempsey was a psychiatrist for Jackson County when he was arrested last July. He has since resigned.

He was charged with assault and three counts of reckless endangerment. Authorities say he strung nylon cords across trails and threw nails and small trees in the path.
