An Auburn man admitted Wednesday in Schuylkill County Court that he shot at gasoline pumps in July 2013 at a North Manheim Township service station where he once worked.
Jonathan M. Weicicoskie, 24, pleaded guilty to risking a catastrophe, criminal mischief and recklessly endangering another person.
Judge Cyrus Palmer Dolbin accepted Weicicoskie's plea, ordered preparation of a presentence investigation and said he would schedule the defendant's sentencing in the future.
State police at Schuylkill Haven have charged Weicicoskie with firing 19 rounds from a .22-caliber rifle into the gasoline pumps at Economy Gas Gulf 61, 410 Route 61 South, at 12:16 a.m. July 28, 2013.
Police said Weicicoskie admitted shooting at the pumps because he did not like the station's owner. Weicicoskie had been a part-time employee at the station for three years and said the owner treated him poorly, according to police.
Weicicoskie remains free on $15,000 unsecured bail pending his sentencing.
