A Dubuque man accused of shooting fireworks at a group of people after shouting racial slurs at them has been sentenced to 10 days in jail after pleading guilty to one of two charges. 49 year old John Daniel pleaded guilty in Iowa District Court of Dubuque County to reckless use of fire or explosives. A charge of assault while displaying a dangerous weapon-violation of individual rights was dismissed. It’s reported that on the night of July 6th, Daniel called several people racial slurs, flipped off the group with both hands and then lit a Roman candle and pointed it at the group, so that the projectiles headed toward them, prompting the group to run inside. No one was hit, but a vehicle was struck.
