Man sentenced in parking lot rampage that injured officers in Plymouth Twp.

The news now. The man at the center of a dangerous standoff with the Plymouth Township Police last year pleaded guilty but mentally ill today. He struck and injured three officers and today took responsibility for his actions. Action News reporter Elizabeth Worthington has the latest tonight. Dalton Janicek was surrounded by Plymouth Township police officers as he entered the courtroom, where he was sentenced to 25 to 50 years in prison for attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, among other charges. It's kind of hard to put into words how meaningful it is just to have all their support. Officer Jacob Hennessey told the court he's still haunted by the memory of what happened that day. On October 24th, 2025, when Janicek rammed his Mercedes G-Wagon into two police cruisers, ...and struck Officer Hennessy directly multiple times. Two other officers were also injured. Having your own people impacted, it hits us all hard. Janicek addressed the court as well, saying he's deeply sorry for his actions, and that he was suffering from a mental illness at the time. Janicek's lawyer tells Action News he was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility a few weeks before the incident, but didn't receive proper treatment. They let him walk out. That is an utter disgrace. Officer Hennessy hopes to eventually return to work, and the chief said that they'll wait as long as it takes for him to fully recover, and then they'll welcome him back with open arms when he's ready.
