Anthony L. Kasey, 18, of Northwest Roanoke pleaded guilty to a charge of property damage.
Kasey had been charged with shooting into an occupied car last October, a felony. But under an agreement reached in Roanoke Circuit Court, the charge was reduced to a misdemeanor.
In exchange, Kasey agreed to serve a 60-day jail sentence to be followed by 12 months of probation and a suspended 10-month sentence.
No one was injured, although the shooting caused minor damage to the car. Kasey also was ordered to pay $500 in restitution.
In 1987, Kasey was tried as a juvenile and sentenced to an indeterminate term for the malicious wounding of Melvin Claude Anderson IV, who was shot twice as he stepped of a school bus in Northwest Roanoke.
Testimony showed that Kasey planned the shooting to settle a grudge over a fight in a school cafeteria.
He ended up serving less than six months in a state juvenile detention home on the charge.
