DECATUR — Casey T. Wiley, a Mount Zion man acquitted of attempted murder and other charges in a June 2018 incident, appeared in Macon County Circuit Court on Friday and was sentenced to serve three years in prison on weapons charges.

Although a jury acquitted Wiley, 31, of attempted murder and other charges in December, it found him guilty of three counts of aggravated unlawful use of a shotgun, rifle and handgun. He was sentenced to three years in prison on each charge, but the sentences will run concurrently.

He was also given credit for 582 days time served while awaiting trial. He also was sentenced to a year parole after his release.

The case dates to June 21, 2018. Police said Wiley put a gun to his mother's head and slapped her in the face, then pursued the woman and her ex-husband, Wiley's father, as they fled in a vehicle to Decatur, according to a sworn affidavit.
