A suburban Chicago man has been sentenced to 57 years in prison for shooting an Illinois state trooper in the arm in 2019 as the officer was serving a warrant at his home. Forty-six-year-old Volodymyr Dragan of Wheeling was sentenced Friday by a Cook County judge after being convicted in March of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and aggravated assault. Prosecutors said he shot a trooper in the arm, causing a non-life-threatening wound, in August 2019 as officers were serving an arrest and search warrant for Dragan. The warrant included allegations that Dragan pointed a handgun at another state trooper during a traffic stop the same day.

Volodymyr Dragan, 46, was sentenced Friday by a Cook County judge after being convicted in March of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and aggravated assault. Prosecutors said Dragan shot a trooper in the arm, causing a non-life-threatening wound, in August 2019 as officers were serving an arrest and search warrant for Dragan at his home in Wheeling.
The warrant included allegations Dragan committed aggravated assault on a police officer during a traffic stop earlier the same day where another state trooper had pulled Dragan's motorcycle over for speeding. Police said Dragan was seated in the back seat of a trooper's squad car when he pulled a handgun and aimed it at the trooper before fleeing the scene on his motorcycle.
