A Pasco man who participated in a May drive-by shooting was sentenced to nine months in jail.

Richard Ray Castillo pleaded guilty Tuesday in Franklin County Superior Court to one count of second-degree assault and one count of attempting to elude a police vehicle.

Castillo admitted to assisting in shooting at Miguel A. Paniagua's West Pearl Street apartment May 13. No one was hurt in that incident, but three children were inside sleeping at the time.

The shooting was in retaliation for a May 1 fight at the Pasco Flea Market.

Castillo admitted to helping assault someone May 9 and Aug. 11, and driving around 100 mph trying to lose a police car.

He was sentenced to 90 days for attempting to elude police, but that will be served at the same time as the nine months for assault. Castillo also will need to participate in anger management, according to the sentence.

Pasco man enters guilty plea to charges in assault on officer

A Pasco man who knocked out a Pasco police officer who was trying to arrest him for allegedly shooting at an acquaintance in 2009 pleaded guilty to third-degree assault, second-degree escape and attempting to elude police.

David Jimenez Jr. was sentenced to 12 months on two of the counts and six months on another, which will be served at the same time.

On April 13, Pasco police went to a North Arbutus Avenue home at 2:25 p.m. to arrest Jimenez on outstanding warrants.

When Jimenez fled, Officer Tom Ninemire tried to stop Jimenez but was knocked down and hit his head on a curb. Ninemire briefly lost consciousness and was treated at a hospital.

Three other officers wrestled down and handcuffed Jimenez. He was put into the back of a patrol car while police checked on Ninemire.

But Jimenez left the patrol car, and a chase ensued until his truck stopped and the still-handcuffed Jimenez tried to take off, court documents stated.

Two pursuing officers shocked him with a Taser and re-arrested him.
