Caruthers, 47 of Mountain Lakes, was found guilty Wednesday of child endangerment, simple assault, a disorderly persons offense and unlawful weapon possession, the New Jersey Herald reports.

His attorney intends on filing a motion to overturn the verdict, the report says.

The boy sustained a bruised rib and busted lip after being punched several times by the doctor on the mountain, after he accidentally snowboarded into Caruthers' 10-year-old son, according to the New Jersey Herald.

Caruthers' sentencing is scheduled for May 24. He is listed as having offices in Hamburg, Hackettstown and Boonton.
