A 20-year-old Virginia man will spend 15 years in prison for his role in a series of 2008 shootings along Interstate 64 that injured two people.

An Albemarle County judge sentenced Slade Allen Woodson to 150 years, with all but 135 suspended.

Woodson had admitted to firing a .22-caliber rifle at cars, houses, utility equipment and a deer in the Charlottesville area last year.

A co-defendant, Brandon Dawson, 17, is now on parole.
