Westmoreland County prosecutors say Brydon Williams-Chambers and John Booker pleaded guilty to felony aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, discharge of a firearm into an occupied structure, and unlawful carrying of firearms following a December 2024 shooting at Anthony’s bar on Longfellow Road in Vandergrift. Williams-Chambers was sentenced by Common Pleas Judge Meagan Bilik-DeFazio to four to 10 years in prison followed by one year of probation; Booker is expected to be sentenced within 90 days.
