Two of three fugitive siblings who were the focus of a nationwide manhunt last summer pleaded guilty Thursday to reduced charges in Colorado.
Ryan Dougherty, 21, and Dylan Stanley-Dougherty, 26, along with their sister, Lee Grace Dougherty, 29, were captured Aug. 10 after a chase in southern Colorado. The trio was accused of shooting at a police officer in Florida, as well as robbing a Georgia bank.
Dylan Dougherty pleaded guilty to first-degree assault and faces up to 32 years in prison. Ryan Dougherty pleaded guilty to five counts of menacing and faces up to 20 years in prison, state court administrator’s office spokesman Jon Sarche said.
Lee Grace Dougherty, pleaded guilty last week to reduced charges of first-degree assault and two counts of menacing, all felonies.
The pleas came in the 3rd Judicial District Court in Walsenburg under deals in which prosecutors agreed to drop more serious charges, including attempted second-degree murder.
All three will be sentenced April 30. The Associated Press
