WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) — A 63-year-old Chelan Falls man could be sentenced to more than a year in prison after pleading guilty to firing a gun to scare children off his property.
The Wenatchee World says Robert A. Davidson entered an Alford plea Monday in Chelan County Superior Court to two counts of second-degree assault and two counts of felony harassment. An Alford plea means he does not admit the act, but acknowledges there is enough evidence to lead to a conviction.
Prosecutors are recommending Davidson receive 15 months in prison when he is sentenced Sept. 8.
Court papers say Davidson found three boys ages 10 and 8 looking for lizards on his property in April. The document says he drove a car at them and pointed a 12-gauge shotgun at two of the boys, then fired the weapon as they ran away.
