Connor Hoy, 21, faces 10 counts of aggravated assault against a law enforcement officer, two counts of domestic abuse and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, one count of aggravated eluding and one count of reckless weapon use.
A grand jury indicted Hoy on Jan. 4, court documents show.
Hoy’s charges stem from a Dec. 20, 2020, incident where police say he shot two victims with a shotgun and fired multiple rounds at officers before he fled the scene with his vehicle.
According to court documents, officers were dispatched after two victims were reported shot by an intoxicated man, who was later identified as Hoy. Upon officers arriving at the scene, Hoy fired multiple shots at Mitchell Police patrol vehicles while officers were still inside. Moments later, Hoy entered his vehicle and fled the scene, resulting in a pursuit, according to court documents.
Prior to the pursuit, witnesses involved in the incident reported Hoy was intoxicated when he obtained a handgun inside the residence. A female witness told authorities she felt bullets that Hoy fired “whiz by her head” inside the residence.
Moments later, Hoy left the residence unarmed until he obtained a shotgun from his vehicle. According to police reports, a friend of Hoy’s arrived at the residence. Upon arriving, witnesses said Hoy shot the male victim — who was not identified in police reports — in the lower abdomen, causing him to collapse on the street.
As the male victim was lying wounded on the street, a female approached the male but was shot in the leg by Hoy in the process, according to court documents. Both victims suffered serious injuries but survived.
When officers arrived at the scene, Hoy fled in his vehicle, leading officers on a pursuit outside of the city limits and into rural Davison County, according to court documents. Hoy, he came to a stop and exited his vehicle to fire multiple rounds at the authorities inside their patrol vehicles. According to police reports, no officers were injured.
According to documents, Hoy then re-entered into his vehicle and attempted to flee from officers once again. Hoy rammed his car into police vehicles set up as a barricade, escaping once again. He crashed his vehicle shortly after, and officers were able to take him into custody.
Hoy could face up to 42 years in prison and roughly $160,000 in fines, if found guilty on all charges. In total, Hoy was charged with 15 felonies and two misdemeanors from the incident. Aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer with a deadly weapon is the most severe charge he’s facing, which is a class 2 felony that carries a maximum punishment of 25 years in prison and a $50,000 fine. Aggravated assault with a weapon is a Class 3 felony, punishable upon conviction by up to 15 years in prison and a $30,000 fine.
Hoy was granted a request for a mental evaluation. In South Dakota, as part of a plea agreement, one can plea the crimes committed were due to a mental illness. Hoy will reappear in court on March 5.
