WAYNESBORO—A man charged in a series of shootings along Interstate 64 has pleaded guilty to six felony counts in Waynesboro.
Slade Allen Woodson apologized Monday during a brief appearance in Waynesboro Circuit Court. The 19-year-old Woodson pleaded guilty to two counts of shooting into an occupied vehicle, three counts of maliciously shooting from a vehicle and one count of destruction of property.
A pre-sentencing report is expected in three to four months.
Woodson also faces a September trial in Albemarle County for the interstate shootings there in March. Two drivers suffered minor injuries in those shootings.
Another teenager, Brandon Dawson, previously pleaded guilty in the Albemarle shootings. The 16-year-old Dawson was sentenced to a six-month juvenile program.
