NewsChannel 8 - Va. Man Gets 51 Years for Trying to Kill Cop

A Fairfax County (web|news) man has been sentenced to 51 years in prison for trying to kill a police officer.

Twenty-seven-year-old Rocky L. King was convicted in June of attempted capital murder of a police officer, possession of cocaine and two gun charges. He was sentenced Friday in Fairfax Circuit Court.

Prosecutors say in September 2007, he pointed a gun at Eugene B. Bork's head as the officer tried to get King to come out of his car, which King had crashed into a road median in Herndon. Other officers then shot and wounded King.

Authorities say a a search of King's car turned up 100 rounds of ammunition, marijuana and the clip for his gun. Cocaine was found in his pocket. King's blood-alcohol level was 0.23, nearly three times the legal limit.
