Woman Sentenced For Chartiers Township Shooting

A Greene County woman found guilty of aggravated assault in the July 2022 shooting of her boyfriend’s estranged wife was sentenced on Monday. Michaela Hildreth, 28 will spend the next 7-14 years in state prison for the shooting of Amy Mruk in the 200 block of Moon Road in Chartiers Township. A jury convicted Hildreath in June of 2 counts of aggravated assault, 3 counts of reckless endangerment and one count of simple assault. The shooting was caused by an argument between the victim Amy Mruk and her estranged husband John Mruk along with Hildreth over a missing rifle. Hildreth shot and nearly killed an unarmed Mruk as she approached a vehicle containing Hildreth and Mruk’s former husband. Five character witnesses and testimony from Hildreth did not sway the judge from sentencing Hildreth to a standard range sentence.  She received 6-12 years on an aggravated assault charge and 6-12 months on each of two reckless endangerment charges that will be served consecutively. Sentences for the other aggravated assault, simple assault and reckless endangerment charges will be served concurrently to the other charges. Hidreth’s attorneys had no comment after the hearing. They did state after the trial and during the sentencing hearing that they will be filing an appeal.
