The man who shot a Linn County Sheriff’s Deputy several times during a robbery in Coggon two years ago has been sentenced to prison.
Stanley Donahue was sentenced to 92 years in prison on Friday.
A jury had convicted Donahue earlier this year of several charges, including Attempted Murder.
Investigators say in June of 2021, Donahue robbed the Casey’s General Store in Coggon – shooting Deputy Will Halverson multiple times before fleeing in his vehicle. Donahue crashed his vehicle in Coggon while being pursued by another deputy and then fled on foot. Hours after a manhunt began, he was spotted walking down Highway 13 near Coggon the next day and taken into custody.
Deputy Halverson was hospitalized for several months, but has since recovered and returned to duty.
