A Grundy County man who shot and killed an Iowa State Trooper during a standoff a little more than a year ago has been sentenced to life in prison.

Forty-two-year-old Michael Lang of Grundy Center was sentenced Monday in Grundy County District by Judge Joel Dalyrmple.

The sentence was handed down a little more than a month after a jury found Lang guilty of First-Degree Murder, Attempted Murder and Assaulting a Peace Officer in connection with the death of 51-year-old Patrol Sergeant Jim Smith.

Lang was further ordered to pay $150,000 in restitution to Smith’s estate.

Smith was a 27-year veteran of the Iowa State Patrol.
