Judge rejects plea agreement in Lander shooting

A judge has rejected a plea agreement that prosecutors had reached with a man accused of shooting at three people early this year in Sinks Canyon near Lander. District Judge Marvin Tyler rejected the plea agreement Wednesday because it didn't reflect the number of victims. Prosecutors allege defendant Jeremy Cunningham shot at three people on Jan. 31 on Sinks Canyon Road in a "road rage" incident. Prosecutors initially charged Cunningham with three counts of attempted second-degree murder and three counts of aggravated assault. He had agreed to plead guilty to two counts of aggravated assault. Tyler approved reinstating the dropped aggravated assault charge. The judge granted a request from Fremont County Attorney Michael Bennett to dismiss the attempted murder charges.
