MARQUETTE, MI— A Gwinn man has been sentenced for shooting the windows out of a West Branch Township vehicle in January of 2025.
Jeffrey Johnson was arrested for drunk driving after he crashed his truck. Investigation revealed that before the crash, he had fired a rifle at a residence and shot out the front and back windows of a vehicle. The rifle was found in a bush near the crash site.
Johnson pleaded no contest to discharge of a firearm in or at a building, discharge of a firearm from a vehicle, and malicious destruction of property between $1,000 and $20,000. Three felony firearms charges were dismissed.
Johnson was sentenced last week to 3 to 10 years in prison with credit for 432 days already served.
