JACKSON, Wyo. (CT) – A sixty-six year-old man accused of recklessly endangering the lives of three bicyclists nearly half his age when he sideswiped them with his truck near Game Creek Trail here last summer was found guilty on seven counts by a jury Wednesday.

After deliberating for over three hours today, a jury of three women and three men convicted Paul DeBoer, 66, of seven misdemeanors—including reckless driving, reckless endangering and illegally passing a vehicle on the left.

Sentencing in the case is scheduled for next Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. before 9th Circuit Court Judge Timothy C. Day. DeBoer faces a maximum of over three years and a half in jail and about $1,300 in fines, or both.
