The man accused of firing a gun at a vehicle occupied by five people in November of last year accepted a plea deal Monday morning in Christian Circuit Court.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Rick Boling explained the agreement for 21-year old John Vause of Hopkinsville, with his five first-degree wanton endangerment counts amended to second degree and combining with a count of tampering with evidence. Each count comes with a one year sentence and they would be served concurrently.
The incident happened November 13 on South Elm Street and investigation by Hopkinsville police determined Vause allegedly fired shots at vehicle occupied by a woman he was in an altercation with and four other people.
No one was injured and Vause was later found hiding in a home on North Elm, according to the initial report.
Judge John Atkins accepted the proposed plea deal and scheduled formal sentencing for November 23.
