Deluca Assault 10:41 pm An Altoona man convicted of assaulting another man with a pool cue last year was sentenced on Tuesday, according to Blair County District Attorney Peter Weeks. Weeks says Alexander DeLuca was sentenced to 8 to 16 years in state prison. DeLuca was convicted in April on charges of aggravated assault and conspiracy. Police say he and another man reportedly lured a third man to a home along 3rd Ave. where they assaulted him with a pool cue. Investigators say DeLuca also fired a gun near the victim after the assault had concluded.
