A La Crosse man was sentenced Tuesday to 2.5 years in prison for shooting at a police officer in 2022.

Curtis Ross pleaded guilty Tuesday to a charge of recklessly endangering safety. He was sentenced to prison, followed by three years on extended supervision. Other charges were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.

In February of 2022, police suspected Ross of stealing a car downtown around 1:30 a.m., and ditching it near UW-La Crosse. When officers spotted Ross in the campus area, he reportedly fired at one policeman — who was about 25 yards away — and tried to run.

Nobody was hurt by the shot.

Ross was arrested without further incident, while hiding near a car.

He is eligible for credit for 749 days spent in jail since his arrest.
