A Zion Grove man, who tried to ram his car into a state police sport utility vehicle, in May of 2015, in North Union Township, was sentenced Tuesday in Schuylkill County Court.
State police alleged that after a confrontation with his parents, Brad A. Moyer drove his 2014 white Chevrolet Malibu at the SUV occupied by driver Trooper Brian O’Connor and passenger Trooper Matthew C. Barrett on Ringtown Road.
On April 8 a Schuylkill County jury convicted Moyer of four counts of aggravated assault, three of simple assault and two of recklessly endangering another person, but could not reach a verdict on two counts of attempted homicide and two additional counts of aggravated assault.
President Judge William E. Baldwin ordered, after determining the deadly weapon enhancement provision of state sentencing law applied to his use of the car that Moyer will spend nine to 22 years in a state correctional institution.
