<p>ALBION, Ind. — A northeastern Indiana man who was shot by a police officer he pulled a gun on during a 2019 domestic disturbance has been sentence to 22 1/2 years in prison.</p>
<p>Faustino Jesus Vasquez, 29, was sentenced by a Noble County judge after pleading guilty to a felony count of pointing a firearm. The Fort Wayne man received a 2 1/2-year sentence on that count.</p>
<p>But as part of Vasquez’s plea agreement a sentencing enhancement added another 20 years to his sentence during Monday’s hearing, <a href="https://www.kpcnews.com/newssun/article_0d2405ee-8b58-5d12-9c9f-f3f48c50f0e3.html">The (Kendallville) News-Sun</a> reported.</p>
<p>In November 2019, a Kendallville police office was responding to a domestic call at a mobile home park when Vasquez drew a handgun and pointed it at the officer, prosecutors said.</p>
<p>The officer drew his weapon and fired, striking Vasquez at least twice before taking cover and calling for police backup and medical assistance.</p>
<p>Vasquez drew a gun and pointed it at Kendallville Officer Doug Davis during a Nov. 22, 2019, domestic disturbance call at a Kendallville mobile home park.</p>
<p>Vasquez was hospitalized for weeks before being charged with felony counts of carrying a handgun without a license and pointing a firearm. Under his plea, the handgun charge was dropped.</p>
<p>An investigation of the police-involved shooting by Indiana State Police and prosecutors determined that the officer acted appropriately in self-defense in the incident.</p>
