Leslie Paulson, the Frankfort man charged with hitting and pinning his ex-wife with a car in December 2019 on Mohawk Valley Community College’s Utica campus, was sentenced to nearly two decades in prison Monday after pleading guilty to attempted second-degree murder, according to court records.
Utica police in 2019 reported Paulson’s ex-wife was walking her dog when he sped toward her, pinning her between her vehicle and his. He began to threaten the woman before leaving, police said. The woman was later treated for her injuries.
