LUFKIN, TX (KTRE) -
A
24-year-old Lufkin man received a 25-year prison sentence Monday in connection
to a February 2012 incident in which he shot at a man who came to his
residence in the company of his live-in girlfriend.
Judge
Barry Bryan of the 217th Judicial District Court found Michael Anthony Sheddan
guilty of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, deadly conduct, and unlawful
possession of a firearm by a felon during Monday's court hearing. He also
sentenced to Sheddan to 25 years for the aggravated assault charge, 20 years
for the deadly conduct charge, and 10 years for the unlawful firearm
possession.
However,
Bryan did order that the sentences should be served concurrently, or at the
same time. While on the stand Monday, Sheddan said that he doesn't remember anything
that happened during the incident because of the large amounts of
methamphetamine that was in his system at the time.
According
to police reports, the incident occurred at about 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 6, 2012. A
man and two women arrived at a residence in the 800 block of N. First Street,
and Sheddan, who was at the residence, apparently did not want the trio in the
house and shot at the man several times.
The man
Sheddan shot at went to a neighbor's house, and the neighbor called 911.
Sheddan
was angry about the fact that his live-in girlfriend had come to the house with
another man, according to police reports. Although officers did not locate
anything damaged by the bullets, businesses, residences, and vehicles were in
the paths of the bullets.
