PIERRE A Sturgis man was sentenced Friday to 35 years in prison for attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and discharge of a firearm at an occupied structure stemming from an incident at the Meade County Law Enforcement Center.
Fredrick Wilson Jr., 20, was sentenced to 30 years on the attempted murder charge and 10 years, with five years suspended, on the discharge of a firearm charge. The sentences will be served consecutively. Wilson had pleaded guilty but mentally ill to the charges in July.
The incident occurred on June 30, 2024, when Wilson fired shots at both an officer and at the law enforcement center. Explosive components were found near the entry doors of the building, but were never detonated. There were no injuries.
