It took a Blair County jury nearly 5 hours to find Scott Allen Crownover of Altoona not guilty on two counts each of attempted homicide, aggravated assault and simple assault. Crownover claimed self defense for shooting at a car driven by his ex-girlfriend's estranged husband, saying he feared he would be run over. Crownover was found guilty on simple assault and reckless endangerment charges. He faces up to eight years in prison. A Bedford County man faces numerous drug charges.
