NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) - A man has admitted opening fire on police detectives in Plainfield.
Diondre Quinones pleaded guilty to attempted murder and unlawful possession of a weapon. Under terms of a plea agreement, the 22-year-old will face at least 8½ years in prison before he’ll be eligible for parole when he’s sentenced in May.
Prosecutors say Quinones opened fire on the detectives in September 2015 and fled on foot. The detectives were not wounded, but a bullet struck the windshield of their car.
