WALSENBURG — One of the three Dougherty siblings accused in a multistate crime spree has reached a plea deal with prosecutors, a spokesman for the Colorado court system said Wednesday.
Prosecutors and Lee Grace Dougherty, 29, are scheduled to present a plea deal to a judge today, spokesman Rob McCallum said.
Dougherty’s lawyer, Patrick McCarville, declined to comment, citing a gag order imposed by Chief District Judge Claude Appel. District Attorney Frank Ruybalid didn’t immediately return a call.
Dougherty and brothers Ryan, 21, and Dylan Stanley-Dougherty, 26, are accused of shooting at a police officer in Florida as well as robbing a Georgia bank before being captured in southern Colorado on Aug. 10.
They face five counts each in Colorado of attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault and other felony charges after a high-speed chase and what authorities say was a shootout before their capture.
There’s no word yet on whether the brothers have reached plea deals. Colorado, federal and Florida prosecutors have been discussing possible plea deals involving them.
