LEWISBURG -- Parole has been denied for two of the young men charged with throwing a rock off an Interstate 80 overpass in Union County in 2014 that critically injured an Ohio school teacher.

Tyler Porter, 21, whose minimum sentence expired last July 3, was refused parole on Jan. 22. Co-defendant Brett Lahr, 22, was denied parole on Feb. 2.

The Board of Probation and Parole stated it denied parole for Porter because it considered him a risk to the community and he has failed to demonstrate motivation for success.

A negative recommendation by Union-Snyder County Judge Michael H. Sholley who sentenced him was another factor, the board said.

Porter, who also was denied parole last June, is serving a sentence of 22 months to 10 years at the Pine Grove state prison.

In Lahr's case, the board's decision cites a negative recommendation from the Corrections Department and the need for him to complete additional programs while in prison.

The board says he, too, is considered a risk to the community and has not demonstration motivation for success.

It notes Lahr's unsatisfactory supervision history after being paroled in 2016 from a sentence of 18 months to 20 years. He was recommitted after being charged with driving under the influence of prescription drugs and four vehicle code violations.

Those charges stemmed from his car striking a utility pole on Route 147 in Upper Paxton Twp. on Dec. 16, 2016.

According to the board, the earliest Porter could again be considered for parole is June and for Lahr, who is at the Coal Twp. state prison, it is August.

Those two, Lahr's younger brother Dylan, 21, and Keefer L. McGee, 21, all from the New Columbia area, pleaded either guilty or no contest to charges from the 2014 rock-throwing incident.

Dylan Lahr, who Union County District Attorney D. Peter Johnson accused of being the one that threw the 4-1/2-pound rock, is ineligible at this time to apply for parole because the minimum of his 54-month to 24-year sentence does not expire until next March.

McGee was granted parole in August 2016 after he served the 111/2-month minimum of his sentence. He had cooperated with authorities.

Sharon Budd was injured just before midnight on July 10, 2014, when a rock thrown from an overpass about two miles west of Route 15 smashed the windshield striking her in the face.

Budd, the front seat passenger, suffered severe brain juries and lost an eye. The Uniontown, Ohio, school teacher underwent numerous surgeries at Geisinger Medical Center near Danville.

"She never will be able to be alone," family spokesperson Rhonda Williams said Monday.

Husband Randy Budd had posted on Facebook his wife will be considered disabled the rest of her life. He killed himself in 2016, which friends have blamed in part on his wife's situation.

The rock-throwing happened as his wife and daughter Kaylee were accompanying him on a business trip to Somerset, N.J. Neither the daughter, who was driving, nor Randy Budd, who was in the back seat, was injured in the incident.

Kaylee Budd graduated from the University of Akron in December and is working in Columbus, Ohio, Williams said. Two of the other Budd children, Luke and James, are getting married this year, she said. James Budd is in the family home helping care for his mother, she said.
