MONTICELLO – A Westbrookville man was sentenced to 80 years to life in state prison for the attempted murder of a police officer, attempted robbery, two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, and criminal possession of drugs.
Patrick Hemanowski was Sentenced by Sullivan County Court Judge Jim Farrell on Friday, June 23, after a jury found him guilty of shooting at two NY State Troopers on September 12, 2021.
