SPOKANE, Wash. — The second man who shot at a Spokane police officer shortly after a separate drive-by shooting will spend the next four decades behind bars.
Isaac Ott, 23, was sentenced Monday to 40 years for shooting Spokane Police Officer Kris Honaker in 2022. Ott was set to stand trial for the multiple charges against him beginning on April 22, but instead pleaded guilty to all charges against him.
Ott's co-defendant, Ray Wynecoop, was sentenced to more than 60 years in prison for the shooting in early April.
The charges stem from a shooting incident that occurred near the Garland District on June 26, 2022. Officers responded to reports of a drive-by shooting in the area when one of the responding officers reported being chased by the suspects' vehicle. When other responding officers located the suspects and other officer, Wynecoop began firing gunshots and hit Officer Honaker before fleeing.
Police said the first shots were fired at approximately 1:40 p.m. near the intersection of East Garland Avenue and East Empire Avenue on Sunday, June 26. More shots followed at a home in the 3000 block of North Martin Street within five minutes of the first report.
The men reportedly crashed into a tree near North Nevada and East Liberty. Although their car was damaged, police said they were able to flee again but eventually lost control and ended up in the front yard of a nearby house. Police said the men were able to flee on foot after the crash before ultimately being arrested.
Both were under Department of Corrections (DOC) supervision at the time of the shooting, according to police.
Ott still faces federal charges related to the shooting.
