Richard Floyd Blake, who was arrested in August after firing a rifle over Interstate 5 from the edge of a college campus, pleaded guilty today to illegally possessing a firearm.

From our earlier story on Blake:

On August 28th, a swarm of SPD officers descended on the North Seattle Community College campus—just one block from the North Precinct—after Blake allegedly fired several volleys of shots over I-5.

The freeway was shut down in both directions, and SPD called in the SWAT team, a King County Sheriff's Office helicopter, and a Washington State Patrol plane to find Blake, who was hiding in a wooded area at the south end of NSCC's campus with another man. Blake was arrested in the woods several hours later. When Blake was interviewed by police, court records say, he told them "If I had wanted to shoot officers, you would have had some dead cops." No one was injured in the incident.

Blake faces up to ten years in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for March 4th.
