Woman sentenced for shooting rifle while on meth
NORWICH – A woman was sentenced to prison for shooting at her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend while under the influence of methamphetamine.
On the afternoon of August 1, 2013 at a residence in McDonough, 50-year-old Connie B. Hendrickson was arrested for shooting a rifle and firing six shots at her ex-boyfriend 47-year-old Glenn O'Connor and his new girlfriend 30-year-old Kimberly Haughton while they were in Haughton's vehicle.
Hendrickson was involved in a domestic dispute with O'Connor and Haughton and had been using methamphetamine before firing the shotgun.
While no one was injured during the dispute, court records indicate that three of the rounds struck Haughton's vehicle.
Hendrickson was charged two felony counts of attempted assault in the first degree, two counts of felony reckless endangerment first degree and two misdemeanor counts of menacing in the first degree.
She was also charged with the misdemeanor of criminal possession of controlled substance in the seventh degree for unlawfully possessing three ounces of methamphetamine.
On Oct. 10, 2014, Hendrickson pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment before Chenango County Court, and on May 15, 2015, she reappeared in County Court for sentencing.
“This defendant is being sentenced for shooting at the alleged girlfriend (Haughton) of her boyfriend (O'Connor). There is also relationship between the defendant and [Haughton],” said District Attorney Joseph A. McBride.
“She is going to prison for one to three years, and she should be thankful that victim (Haughton) in this particular case made it clear to me during the trial preparation that she did not want to see the defendant going to prison for a long period of time,” said McBride.
“She is the luckiest person in the courtroom, if not the world... that she did not kill that girl when she shot that shotgun at the vehicle,” he added.
McBride said Hendrickson needs to take responsibility for what she has done and stay away from anyone involved in methamphetamine or violence.
Hendrickson's hired attorney said it has been a privilege for him to get to know Hendrickson. He said she is a “hard worker and good provider,” taking care of the people around her.
When asked if she would like to say anything on her own behalf, Hendrickson said, “I just want to say I am thankful for the outcome and thankful for my family. I am ready to get [this] all taken care of so I can go back to being a productive member of society.”
“You should be appreciative and thankful no one was killed or maimed or injured,” said Judge Frank B. Revoir, Jr. to Hendrickson. “It would have been a totally different case, as you know.”
Revoir commended Hendrickson for caring for her sibling's children.
Hendrickson was sentenced to an indeterminate sentence of one to three years in the New York State Department of Corrections.
