A sentencing hearing for a 29-year-old Boonville man who pleaded guilty to multiple felony charges for shooting at another vehicle on I-70 in Montgomery County more than a year ago is set for next month.

A probable-cause statement says on April 7, 2020, Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers responded to the report of shots fired from inside a moving vehicle that struck and disabled a van, which had three persons inside. Nobody was injured inside the van. A truck driver also gave an eyewitness account of the incident.

According to court documents, on March 18, Chad Michael Kennedy pleaded guilty to six counts of a Felony for Unlawful Use of a Weapon; three counts of a Felony for Assault or Attempt in the First Degree; and a Felony for Armed Criminal Action.

Kennedy was scheduled to be sentenced on June 17. However, the cause was continued for further discussions between the parties. Another hearing was held on Thursday, July 22. Kennedy is now scheduled to be sentenced at 10:35 a.m. on Monday, August 23, at Montgomery County Circuit Court.
