The 16-year-old juvenile who plead guilty in an Albemarle County court Wednesday to participation in the string of shootings on and near I-64 in March is now facing charges in Waynesboro as well, police said.
The juvenile, from Crozet, was charged earlier this week for March 27 shootings at the Waynesboro Dupont Community Credit Union on Lucy Lane and an occupied house on North Commerce Avenue that police say were a continuation of the sniper attacks and vandalism along the interstate and in Western Albemarle County that sparked a 29-hour manhunt and terrified many area residents.
The juvenile has been charged in Waynesboro with felony destruction of property, discharging a firearm from a vehicle and two counts of shooting into an occupied dwelling, police said. The case has been referred to Waynesboro Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court.
The juvenile allegedly accompanied Slade Woodson, 19, of Afton, during the shooting incidents. Woodson is also facing felony charges in both counties, and will appear in Waynesboro Circuit Court for a preliminary hearing on Monday.
