In Indiana County Court today, defendants will be sentenced in nineteen DUI cases. Some of those scheduled in court will be there for multiple cases, some for DUI and drugs, and one for DUI and aggravated assault for an accident in which she was involved.
30-year-old April Lynn Duncan of New Kensington is charged with three felonies, aggravated assault, aggravated assault by vehicle while DUI, and accidents involving death or personal injury for a crash on August 6th last year.
