ONTONAGON – A Greenland Township man arrested last February in connection with a shooting in Ontonagon was sentenced on Wednesday. Cole Wascher was sentenced to 10 1/2 to 30 years in prison for the charge of Assault with Intent to Murder in Ontonagon County Circuit Court. The charges stemmed from an incident that happened on February 9, 2020, when deputies from the Ontonagon County Sheriff’s Office responded to the shooting of 23-year-old Dakota Pestka. Wascher was taken into custody and formally charged shortly after the incident.
