A 21-year-old man will serve 50 to 100 years in prison for the attempted murder of two state troopers last year while they were driving him back to the state prison in Indiana County.
Indiana County President Judge William J. Martin imposed the sentence Monday on Simere Maurice Alford. In September, a jury found Alford guilty of assault and attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault, assault by a prisoner, disarming a law enforcement officer, reckless endangerment, attempted escape and resisting arrest. He also was convicted of robbery, theft, illegal possession of a firearm and institutional vandalism.
