SCOTTDALE MAN ORDERED TO SERVE SEVEN YEARS PROBATION

A Scottdale man was ordered to serve seven years on probation for his part in the 2023 shootout with a juvenile.  The Trib reports 21-year-old Joseph Greep, Jr. pleaded guilty to lesser charges after prosecutors agreed to dismiss charges of aggravated assault and discharging a firearm into an occupied structure.  Greep fired three rounds into the Mt. Pleasant home of a 17-year-old with whom he had an ongoing dispute, police say. The juvenile told police he was duped into purchasing a candy bar for $100 that he believed had been laced with hallucinogenic drugs.  The dispute lead to arguments at school and on social media, and ended with the shooting.
