Robert Butts claimed he was insane and sleepwalking at the time of the attack. He testified he remembered being in his apartment and then "waking up" when police had their guns trained on him.A Pottawattamie County jury convicted Butts on seven charges, including second-degree kidnapping and assault. He'll be sentenced in early December. Butts' attorney argued his client was insane when he broke into the woman's apartment last November.
The woman's sister, who was hiding in the bathroom, called police. County Attorney Matt Wilber called Butts' defense "incredible," and listed 116 actions Butts would have had to do while he was "asleep."
