A three-judge state Superior Court panel on Friday affirmed the conviction and state prison sentence of 52 year old Troy Langtry, of Jonestown, who led law enforcement personnel on a chase that ended in a stripping pit.
The panel ruled that Langtry provided no reason to justify overturning his conviction or sentence on four charges stemming from the January 2010 incident.
A jury convicted Langtry on March 8, 2011 after Branch-Reilly Township police alleged that on Jan. 26, 2010, Langtry led two deputy sheriffs on a chase at speeds that at one point exceeded 100 mph.
Judge Charles M. Miller, who presided over Langtry’s trial, sentenced him on April 25, 2011, to serve 3 1/2 to seven years in a state correctional institution. He is serving his sentence at SCI/Forest.
