Sentencing Delayed in Ottawa Attempted Murder Case
Steven Anthony Harris aged 24 of Ottawa had sentencing postponed after his attorney requested more time to prepare. Judge Thomas Sachse gave 10 days to file motions and the state 10 days to respond, with a Sept. 10 hearing set. Harris pleaded no contest to attempted second degree murder for the Dec 2 shooting of Jeremy Ward behind OLearys Pub and faced additional charges including marijuana with intent to sell within 1000 feet of a school and firearm possession. A separate case covers a Jan 24 attempted aggravated battery on David Bibens, linked to a jail incident with co defendant Dillon Leach who pleaded not guilty. Leach’s trial is Oct 23. Sachse previously found Harris guilty in both cases.
