Fort Worth Judge Hands Down More Punishment For Ed McIver Jr.
FORT WORTH (CSDFW.COM) - Ed McIver Jr. will continue serving probation after he was found to have violated his parole late last year.
McIver was involved in a police pursuit back in March of 2016 that ended in a shootout between his father and officers.
Prosecutors say McIver failed to check in with his probation officer in November.
In a court hearing Friday morning, the judge added an additional punishment to McIver's probation conditions: 90 days in ISF.
ISF stands for Intermediate Sanction Facility; it's an alternative lock up. Judges use time in ISF as a tool to get offenders back on track.
McIver will also continue with his probation after his release from ISF.
Last year a jury found McIver Jr. guilty of a misdemeanor evading arrest charge. He was the passenger in a vehicle driven by his father back in March of 2016.
The pursuit led to a shootout with police that killed Ed McIver, Sr. Fort Worth Police Officer Matt Pearce was shot six times, and survived.
