The sentences were ordered served consecutively to each other and also to an earlier sentence of two months to one year for disorderly conduct.
According to court documents, on Aug. 5, 2004, Teague fired a handgun at the Kings and Queens, a bar at 638 Lee Ave., Farrell, striking a woman bystander. The .38 caliber bullet passed from the woman's left leg to her right. The shooting followed an argument between Teague and several other people at Roemer Boulevard and Lee Avenue in Farrell.
