Abortion opponent admits to smashing window at Addison Planned Parenthood

A Farmers Branch man pleaded guilty to damaging an Addison Planned Parenthood last year because he believed abortions were being performed there, officials announced.

Matthew Ring, 32, pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of damaging property of a reproductive health services facility. He faces up to a year in prison, $100,000 fine and no more than one year of supervised released.

Ring is scheduled to be sentenced in January, U.S. Attorney John R. Parker said.
