Derrick Gathers Faces Federal Sentencing | Augusta Georgia News

Derrick Gathers faces up to 15 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine for firing at a South Carolina trooper during a traffic stop—just one of the many charges piling up as he awaits sentencing this Thursday. The attack in April 2023 left Trooper B.A. Frazier critically injured but alive, earning him local hero status. Gathers, already convicted in state court on attempted murder charges with a possible 30+ year sentence, also has prior felony records from New York. A press conference will follow his hearing outside Columbia’s courthouse at 10 AM. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
