PRICES FORK MAN INDICTED IN WOUNDING

A Montgomery County grand jury this week indicted Jed Michael McCracken, 34, for unlawful wounding in connection with the shooting last year a 15-year-old who was riding a dirt bike near his house.

Michael Cook and three others were riding bikes off Thomas Lane near Prices Fork on Aug. 12 when Cook was struck in the back by pellets from a 20-gauge shotgun. He was treated that day and later released from the hospital.

McCracken was found guilty of brandishing a firearm in General District Court and is appealing the conviction. Both charges will be heard in Circuit Court.
