A judge sentenced a man to serve 110 years and six months to life in prison for a 2021 high-speed police pursuit in which he fired a gun at officers while driving recklessly through a Sacramento neighborhood, prosecutors said.
In May, a jury found Ismael Herrera-Mondello guilty of five counts of attempted murder on a police officer , seven counts of assault on a police officer with a semi-automatic firearm and felony evasion of police. He also was convicted of vehicle theft, three counts of shooting at an inhabited home and two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
On Friday, Sacramento Superior Court Peter Williams sentenced Herrera-Mondello for the police pursuit three years ago, the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office announced Monday in a news release.
Herrera-Mondello, 23, remained in custody Monday at the Sacramento County Main Jail, where he’s awaiting transfer to a prison.
The July 7, 2021, police chase began shortly before 5 p.m., when officers spotted a stolen vehicle near 65th Street and Fruitridge Road , the Sacramento Police Department has said. The officers tried to pull over the stolen vehicle, but the driver — later identified as Herrera-Mondello — refused to stop.
