Robert Gage Sregzinski, a 19-year-old Washington man, was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to attempted aggravated murder, unlawful use of a weapon, and menacing charges on Monday.
The convictions stem from an incident in which Sregzninski shot at police offcers in a pursuit through Milton-Freewater in April. Sregzinski was shot by officers after he opened fire on them during a high-speed chase near Milton-Freewater around 7:15 p.m. on April 28. According to the district attorney’s office, Sregzinski was stopped by police before taking off with police in pursuit. During the chase, Sregzinski opened fire on the pursuing officers. After police were able to disable the vehicle, Sregzinski got out of his car and continued to fire at the officers, who the shot him in a lower extremity.
Sregzinski was indicted by a Umatilla County grand jury on May 12. He pleaded guilty to one count of attempted aggravated murder, three counts of unlawful use of a weapon, and three counts of menacing. Sregzinski was sentenced to three years of post-prison supervision upon the completion of his incarceration and will not be eligible for any reductions in his sentence. The sentence was handed down by Circuit Judge Christopher R. Brauer.
