PHOENIX (AP) - A man who deliberately plowed a car into three Phoenix police officers two years ago outside a convenience store was sentenced to 35 years in prison for his convictions for attempted murder and other charges.
Marc Laquon Payne had faced 10 to 54 years in prison for the September 2016 attack that left an officer with a broken leg, another with a concussion, and a third officer with minor injuries
The attack came during an especially violent year for police officers nationwide, including separate deadly attacks in Dallas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Authorities say Payne sped across the store's parking lot where the officers who were there on another call were standing and slammed into the group.
