OGDEN (AP)— Tuesday, a judge sentenced a Salt Lake City man to three suspended jail terms for a drive-by shooting in Ogden last winter.
Authorities confirmed 26-year-old Alberto Delgado was a passenger in a pickup truck who fired seven shots at a house in the 2000 block of Madison Avenue at about 1:40 a.m. on Dec. 6. No one was hit by the gunfire. Crime scene investigators retrieved three shell casings from the scene.
Delgado was arrested roughly three hours later after three men in a pickup matching the description of the vehicle seen in the drive-by fled from officers.
At Delgado’s sentencing in 2nd District Court, his defense attorney, Danny Quintana, said Delgado “surrounded himself with the wrong people. He has learned an expensive lesson from this.”
“He has accepted responsibility and straight up admitted his behavior,” Quintana said. “Fortunately, no one was injured or hurt by this.”
Judge Reuben Renstrom, who serves the Harrisville and Riverdale Municipal Justice Courts, Weber County and Woods Cross Municipal Justice Court as well as Davis County, sentenced Delgado to zero to five years in state prison on each of the three firearms charges. He suspended the sentences and placed him on 36 months’ probation.
Charges remain pending against Derick Solis, 32, of Ogden, the alleged driver of the pickup truck during the Dec. 6 chase.
Police said Solis ran from and fought with officers. Charges against him include failure to stop for and interfering with police, assault by a prisoner, and two third-degree felony drug possession counts.
