PORTLAND (AP) — A South Portland man who pleaded guilty to a charge that he shot at a vehicle in traffic and fled into the woods has been sentenced to 10 years behind bars.
The Portland Press Herald reported (http://bit.ly/1lxYC6Z ) 32-year-old Wayne Sunderland, initially identified as Sean Johnson, was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty to an illegal gun possession charge in July.
Court records say Sunderland pulled alongside another vehicle at a traffic light May 23 in Scarborough and fired a shot, missing both occupants of the other vehicle. Police later found Johnson hiding in nearby woods and arrested him. Authorities called it a road rage incident.
He was prohibited from owning firearms due to a 2013 felony conviction for drug trafficking in Maine.
