DALTON, Ga. (AP) A Texas fugitive who shot a Georgia deputy during a traffic stop last year, prompting a massive manhunt in the woods, has pleaded guilty and been sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Superior Court Judge Jim Wilbanks on Tuesday sentenced Dalton Lee Potter, 29, on numerous charges, including aggravated assault on a peace officer, The Chattanooga Times Free Press reported.
Potter was hauling explosives in a stolen trailer in northwest Georgia when deputies pulled him over on Sept. 6.

Potter fired several shots at Deputy Darrell Hackney and hit him once in the back, but authorities said the deputy’s ballistic vest took the brunt of the shot. Hackney was treated and released that same night, Whitfield County Sheriff Scott Chitwood said.
