Today is a busy day in Indiana County’s Court of Common Pleas with many plea and sentencing hearings going on today. While all the hearings on the schedule have to do with DUI charges, one man will have his plea hearing for a 2019 shooting in Young Township.
28-year-old Jordan Lee Shupe of Shelocta is charged with reckless endangerment, endangering the welfare of children, prohibited possession of a firearm, DUI and disorderly conduct-engaging in fighting for an incident on July 28th, 2019. Police say 28-year-old Jordan Lee Shupe had followed the vehicle driven by 29-year-old Paul Swarden and fired a shot from a handgun at the intersection of Birds Road and Blue Jay Lane. Swarden had two people in the vehicle with him at the time. They were Brieanna Lapay and a then-3-year-old boy.
While police were investigating at Shupe’s house, he drove by and then sped up when he saw the police cruisers. Police eventually pulled him over and seized a pistol that had a shot recently fired.
Shupe’s hearing is set for 8:30 this morning in front of Judge Michael Clark.
