Man gets 5 to 10 years in prison for shooting
A 28-year-old Philadelphia man will serve up to a decade in state prison in relation to a shooting at a busy Butler intersection in 2013.
Hassan “Money” Lamar Brack on Wednesday pleaded no contest to a felony count of being a former convict not to possess a firearm and two counts of reckless endangerment.
Butler County Judge Timothy McCune, who was about to start a jury trial for Brack when the defendant opted to enter the plea arrangement, sentenced the defendant to serve 5 to 10 years in prison.
As part of the plea arrangement with prosecutors, a charge of attempted homicide and a second case related to the same victim were withdrawn.
In court records, city police allege Brack was arguing with 27-year-old Brannon Irvin at a city bar Aug. 19. Later that day, at about 7:30 p.m., Brack allegedly got out of a sport utility vehicle at East Cunningham and South McKean streets, came up to another vehicle that Irvin was riding in and shot Irvin in the chest.
Irvin survived the shooting.
