A Mt. Pleasant Township man was sentenced Monday to serve up to five years in prison in connection to a shooting incident.
Police claimed he and his father chased a motorist and fired multiple rounds during the incident.
Paul Anthony Caletri III, 31, pleaded guilty to one felony count of aggravated assault as part of a deal in which prosecutors agreed to dismiss charges of attempted homicide and lesser counts of simple assault, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and reckless driving.
Authorities said Caletri, and his 70-year-old father, in separate vehicles last Dec. 12 pursued another motorist with whom they had been engaged as part of personal feud.
During a preliminary hearing in March, Tony Snyder testified the Caletris rammed into his pickup truck in the driveway at a Bridgeport Road home, threatened his life and later pursued him across multiple roadways in the area.
At least four shots were fired during the chase, Snyder claimed.
According to court records, the younger Caletri admitted to firing at least two shotgun rounds out of a vehicle window.
Westmoreland County Common Pleas Court Judge Michael Stewart II sentenced Caletri to serve at least 30 months in prison and an additional three years on probation once he is released from custody.
The case against Caletri’s father, Paul Caletri Jr., is pending as he remains free on a nominal bond. He is facing counts of aggravated assault and other related offenses and is scheduled to appear for a pretrial hearing before Judge Scott Mears in December.
