1 of 3 teens plead guilty in drug-related crowbar attack

SATELLITE BEACH, Fla. (AP) - One of three teens accused of attacking another teen with a crowbar in central Florida has pleaded guilty.

Florida Today (https://on.flatoday.com/1otPgKc ) reports 18-year-old Dylan Thomas pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree murder in a Viera courtroom on Friday.

Satellite Beach police say Thomas, along with two 19-year-old women, were involved in a drug-related attack in February 2015.

Authorities say Thomas beat 17-year-old Daniel Vukovich with a crowbar over a marijuana dispute.

The women, Jessica Umberger and Rebecca Gotay, pleaded guilty in January to aggravated battery in connection with the incident. All three were initially charged with first-degree premeditated attempted murder.

Thomas’s attorney, Geoff Golub, says his client is remorseful for his actions.

Sentencing for the three teens will be held April 15.
