CLEVELAND — A man who fired at police during a chase and was shot in Youngstown the next day by a member of a U.S. marshals task force has pleaded guilty in federal court to assault on a federal officer, possession of a firearm in connection with an offense of violence, and failure to register as a sex offender.

A charge of being a felon in possession of ammunition will be dismissed at sentencing.
