WAYNESBORO, VA (Rocktown Now) — It is eight years in jail for the Waynesboro man who was charged in connection with a violent dispute that left a victim hospitalized earlier this year.

According to online records, Ian Michael Fisher pleaded guilty back in August to charges of Felony Malicious Wounding and Use of a Firearm in a Felony.

Last Friday, he found out his fate as a judge sentenced him to 23 years in prison with 15 of those years suspended.

On April 11th, Waynesboro Police responded to the 700-block of East Main Street following reports of a possible shooting.

Upon arrival, officers located a person suffering from apparent gunshot wounds before locating the 28-year-old Fisher a short time later near 6th Street and North Commerce Avenue.
