An Indiana man charged in connection with a drive-by shooting last year in Indiana Borough is scheduled to have his sentencing hearing today.
21-year-old Thomas Edward Lindsay III will go before Judge Michael Clark today to be sentenced for guilty pleas to two counts connected with the shooting on 3rd Street in Indiana Borough on June 23rd. He originally faced 19 counts in connection with the shooting, but pleaded guilty in May of this year to one count each of aggravated assault-attempt to cause or causing bodily injury with a deadly weapon and to carrying a firearm without a license. He had been facing multiple charges of attempted criminal homicide, aggravated assault-serious bodily injury, discharging a firearm into an occupied structure, reckless endangerment and conspiracy, along with a second count of aggravated assault-bodily injury.
He will also be sentenced in a second case from that day where he was involved with others in a home invasion theft in the Chevy Chase neighborhood of White Township. He faced multiple counts of robbery with threats to injure, terroristic threats, and single counts of theft, receiving stolen property, reckless endangerment and conspiracy to robbery. In that case, he pleaded guilty to robbery with immediate threat of bodily injury in May.
He is also due for a revocation hearing today for a case that dates back to April 23rd of 2018. He pleaded guilty to robbery by force, and was ordered to serve six to 23 months in prison and two years of probation while six other charges were not prosecuted.
The hearing starts at 8:30 this morning.
