SNOW HILL — A Seaford, Del. man, who pleaded guilty in March to first-degree assault and other charges following an incident last September when he struck two law enforcement officers in a drug deal gone bad, causing the officers to fire their service weapons at the vehicle, was sentenced last Friday to 15 years, with all but 10 suspended.
Last September, Antonio Ambrosino, 18, allegedly accelerated his vehicle toward and collided with an Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) officer and a Worcester County Sheriff’s deputy during an apparent drug deal. The struck officers were forced to fire their service weapons at Ambrosino’s vehicle as it sped away following the collision. Ambrosino was ultimately taken into custody after jumping into the bay around 41st Street following a multi-agency pursuit.
Last November, a Worcester County grand jury indicted Ambrosino on 15 total counts including attempted first-degree murder of an Ocean City Police officer, first-degree assault on the same OCPD officer, first-degree assault on a Worcester County Sheriff’s deputy and a member of the Worcester County elite drug enforcement unit known as the Criminal Enforcement Team. Ambrosino was also indicted by the grand jury on various drug and weapons charges.

5 years for all of that - WOW!
Evidently you don't do math.
Actually less than 5. He'll be out in 3 if 'good behavior'. Probation for the remaining 7.
“Forced” to fire at fleeing citizens. Liars. Period. This is so wrong on so many levels.
You must write for CNN lol
It is a crime of violence-he will be required to serve 50 % before eligible for parole
Did you even read the article, he got 10 years
@1:29 “Forced” to fire at fleeing citizens. Liars. Period. This is so wrong on so many levels.
So...what is an officer supposed to do when some person is trying to KILL them? Use harsh language? They were defending themselves--you obviously have no clue what police go through-at the end of their shift, they want to go home to their families-some thug decides to try to KILL them (what else would you call deliberately hitting them with a vehicle-a love tap?) They responded with appropriate force-suppose they just said "oh stop please, and they next ran over a family member of YOURS? Guess that would be OK, because the poor downtrodden spoiled brat criminal driving(check the court transcript records for WHY he was dealing in the first place)...people like you are the first to cry "oh the police are so mean" yet expect them to put their lives on the line defending dumba$$es such as you...GET A CLUE
