Man accused to trying to run over cops pleads to drug charge in separate case

A man accused of trying to run over Eunice police officers has pleaded guilty to narcotics charges in a separate case.
Troy Mott pleaded guilty in 27th Judicial District Court to distribution of cocaine.
Judge Ellis Daigle sentence him to five years in prison, two without parole. Mott received credit for time served since his arrest.
Daigle suspended 2 1/2 years of the sentence and placed Mott on active supervised probation.
The narcotics arrest was made in a drug-round up on July 4, 2012.
At the time, Mott was out of jail on a $111,500 bond stemming from his January 2009 arrest for the attempted murder of two Eunice officers.
According to records, after being stopped about 2 a.m. on Jan. 11, 2009 on Eisenhower Street Mott tried to run over three officers, who of whom fired their sidearms at his car as they jumped out of its path. One buttlet hit Mott in the shoulder.
Mott was charged with two counts of attempted murder of a police officer, aggravated battery and aggravated flight.
There is no court minutes record of any action in that case since the lineup and bond setting five years ago.
Subsequent to the 2009 arrest, Mott filed a civil suit charging police brutality. A 2013 hearing scheduled in that suit was continued without date.
