Teen sentenced for hitting man with car

BANGOR – A Bangor teenager convicted of deliberately running down a man with a car in a motel parking lot has been sentenced to 10 years in prison with all but four years suspended and six years probation.

Marcus Shorey, 19, was found guilty of elevated aggravated assault by a Penobscot County Superior Court jury in February.

The charge stemmed from a Sept. 15, 2002, fight outside the Econo Lodge in Bangor shortly before Shorey struck a 23-year-old Bangor man with the vehicle.

Shorey also was sentenced last week to four months in jail for criminal threatening and 30 days in jail for operating a vehicle without a license. He pleaded guilty to those charges earlier this year.

The maximum sentence for elevated aggravated assault is 20 years. Shorey’s sentences are to run concurrently.
