(AP) _ A doctor whose Jersey Shore home was searched last summer as part of an investigation into the 2001 anthrax attacks has pleaded guilty to assaulting his wife and stepdaughter. Dr. Kenneth Berry was sentenced to two years probation and fined $1,000 Friday by Municipal Judge James A. Liguori. As part of his plea, Berry dropped countercharges of assault against his wife, Tana Luecken-Berry, and 18-year-old stepdaughter Dara Luecken. Berry did not address the court at his sentencing. His lawyer, Clifford Lazzaro of Newark, said his client regretted what happened and attributed it to the stress caused by FBI searches of Berry's home in upstate New York and the summer home in the Chadwick section of Dover Township owned by his parents. "I think the events of the day caused this unfortunate incident to occur. My client was obviously under a great deal of pressure," Lazzaro said, adding, "It doesn't excuse my client's behavior." Federal agents searched the homes on Aug. 5. The assaults occurred the same day at the White Sands Motel where Berry, his wife and stepdaughter were taken during the search. Shortly after the raids, Berry was fired from his job as an emergency room physician at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Luecken-Berry has filed a permanent restraining order against her husband, The Star-Ledger of Newark reported in Saturday's editions. Berry has not been charged in the anthrax attacks. He founded an organization in 1997 that trains medical professionals to respond to chemical and biological attacks. FBI spokesman Joseph Paris said the agency is still conducting the anthrax investigation, but would not comment on Berry's involvement in the case. Lazzaro told The Associated Press last month that no evidence was found that would link Berry to the anthrax mailings and that he would be exonerated. Five people died and 17 were sickened in the fall of 2001 in the anthrax mailings that targeted government and media officials. The attacks unsettled a nation already reeling from the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
