Although some portions of the sentence against Eric Hageder are to be served concurrently and others consecutively, taken as a whole the New Florence man’s prison term totals 32 years, 5 months to 83-and-a-half years in prison.
The 29-year-old Hageder pleaded guilty to charges related to a crime spree that began in Armagh and ended up in Blair County in March of last year. Adding up the guilty pleas from three separate cases, there are seven for aggravated assault, seven for simple assault, six for recklessly endangering another person, two for robbery, and one each for fleeing and eluding, theft, and receiving stolen property. He also pleaded guilty to five summary traffic offenses and, in a Cambria County case previously adjudicated, to criminal mischief.
In the course of a single night, Hageder robbed Krevetski’s convenience store in Armagh, stole an ex-girlfriend’s car in Cambria County, attacked a man in Altoona and stole his pickup truck, then led police on a wild chase on I-99 into Huntingdon County and back to Blair County, at one point calling 911 and telling the dispatcher he was going to “play demolition derby” with the pursuing police. He was finally stopped by a rolling road block, resulting in his crashing the stolen truck.
The Indiana County charges were consolidated with the Blair County charges. For those offenses, he pleaded guilty to robbery, with non-prosecution for aggravated assault and theft.
Hageder will serve his prison time in the Blair County Prison. He was sentenced by Blair County Judge Timothy Sullivan.
