TROY — A Sidney teen was sentenced Friday to 11 to 13.5 years in prison for shooting two men during a March 13 drug sale in the parking lot of a Troy apartment complex.

Cullen Inderrieden, 19, was convicted in October of aggravated robbery, two counts of felonious assault with firearm specifications and possession of LSD in Miami County Common Pleas Court.

Two men from Chillicothe, ages 17 and 18, were taken to Troy Hospital after they were shot while in a car with two other men in the parking lot of an apartment complex off Stonyridge Avenue, Troy police said.

The 17-year-old had three gunshot wounds to the thigh and abdomen while the 18-year-old had one wound in the hip area, the report said.

One of the men told police the four had come to Troy from Chillicothe for a marijuana deal.

Police said Inderrieden met the car in the parking lot, sat in it and smoked marijuana with the occupants before exiting, saying he needed to get his money. Instead, he pulled out a gun and shot into the vehicle as the driver, realizing what was happening, started an attempt to get away.

Judge Stacy Wall said Friday the drug deal apparently was arranged through a Snapchat account in which the parties agreed to meet in Troy for the transaction. There was no self-defense claim on the part of Inderrieden, who opened the car door and started shooting, Wall said.

“They didn’t even have a chance when you started shooting,” she said, noting the two shot were not part of arranging the drug deal.

Inderrieden apologized to the victims Friday. Defense lawyer Kenneth Rexford said Inderrieden “lost himself” during the days of COVID-19 when his plans of going to college following graduation were disrupted.

Inderrieden will receive credit for 228 days served in the county jail since his arrest.
