AUBURN, Ind. (WOWO) — A man from Auburn has been sentenced to 20 years for his involvement in an incident that involved shots being fired toward police last year.

The Star reports 36-year-old Cory Carico pleaded guilty Tuesday to attempted aggravated battery and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon.

On Jan. 5, 2023, Auburn police responded to a report of an intoxicated driver on South Wayne Street. Police attempted to make a traffic stop, but Carico fled and a pursuit began.

During the pursuit, Carico fired several shots in the direction of the police.

The truck eventually became stuck in the mud and police arrested Carico after a four-hour standoff.
