In February, Ray Shetler Jr. was found not guilty on charges of first- and third-degree murder, terroristic threats and simple assault in the death of Officer Lloyd Reed.

However, he was found guilty on charges of theft and receiving stolen property. Today, he was sentenced to 11.5-23 months with credit for time served and five years’ probation. As a result, he will soon be released from prison.

A New Florence man acquitted of killing a police officer in 2015 will remain in jail as he awaits trial on charges that he assaulted a law enforcement official as police attempted to take him into custody on an outstanding warrant.

Westmoreland County Common Pleas Judge Megan Bilik-DeFazio on Monday rejected a defense request to lift the detainer that has held Ray Allen Shetler Jr. in custody.

“I am not confident with Mr. Shetler’s compliance with probation,” the judge said.

Shetler, 38, has been in jail since December 2021 after he was arrested for failing to appear in court for a probation violation hearing. Prosecutors said he violated terms of his release from jail after serving a short sentence for theft of a truck while fleeing from authorities following the fatal shooting of St. Clair Township police Officer Lloyd Reed.
