New Haven-a man from Bristol, who was convicted in a federal case on Tuesday, which was multi-state identity and vehicle theft, was also convicted of a shootout and rape in Farmington, which was seen as one of the wildest crimes in the history of this city.

In the federal case, the 48 -year -old Ryan Testa was sentenced to 30 months in prison in New Haven before the US district court.

At the time of the incident, Testa already had a significant crime history and should have been in prison. However, he was free because a clerk accidentally wrote that his judgment was for five days instead of the five years that a judge had ordered for five days because of a non -related burglary and the indictment. After he was guilty of attack and rape in Farmington, he was sentenced to 22 years in prison in 1999.

Walker and his wife Stephanie Perez recruited testa in early 2023, and Testa used stolen identities used to collect at least nine vehicles worth around 500,000 US dollars, said Silverman.

Testa had been arrested since he was arrested in Pennsylvania on May 16, 2023 after trying a vehicle. Walker and Perez are also guilty of relatives. Silverman said Perez was sentenced to 14 months in prison on March 6, while Walker was not convicted.

In the conviction memo for Testa, Silverman wrote that his crime history against him, the government “recognizes the significant personal history of Testa, also as a child, and encourages Testa to commit goals after the conclusion of the judgment imposed by the court”, which contained release for three years.
