An East Texas man convicted of shooting at a sheriff’s deputy in March 2016 and then fleeing to Arkansas has been sentenced to life in prison. Jurors in Smith County who convicted 33-year-old Ricardo Pineda of aggravated assault against a peace officer also decided the Tyler man should be fined $10,000. Pineda fired more than a dozen rifle shots at the deputy during a high-speed pursuit, but there were no injuries.
