A Summit Hill man was sentenced to a short prison term on Friday on a charge of obstruction in the administration of law and other government functions.

On a charge of persistent disorderly conduct he was placed on probation for a year, concurrent with the jail term.Leonzi was convicted of the charges following a one day trial in April. Following the verdict, Serfass found Leonzi guilty of summary offenses of disorderly conduct, duties at stop signs,failing use to turn signal, and investigation by officer/duty of operator. Leonzi represented himself at the trial.Leonzi was charged by Summit Hill police officer Peter Hamati-Attieh with an incident on Jan. 7.Hamati-Attieh stopped Leonzi after he ran two stop signs and failed to use a turn signal.At the stop, the officer said Leonzi refused to give him his information - driver's license, vehicle registration and proof of insurance. Hamati-Attieh also said Leonzi became belligerent to the point he would not get out of his vehicle, at which time the officer had to use pepper spray on the defendant.After getting Leonzi out of his 2001 Jeep Cherokee, the defendant continued to be unruly, using curse words and being loud.Leonzi testified that the officer had a "thing" for him due to a prior case in 2016. He said the new case was a "boomerang effect" from last year. He said Hamati-Attieh followed him for eight blocks before he made the stop. He also denied refusing to give the officer his information.Assistant District Attorney Brian Gazo, who prosecuted the case, asked that Leonzi be given a short period of incarceration because of the circumstances in the case involving a police officer.In addition to the prison term, Serfass ordered Leonzi to get a drug and alcohol evaluation and follow any recommendations for treatment, pay court costs of about $1,000, pay a $50 per month supervision fee while on parole/probation and render a total of 150 hours of community service after he completes the prison term.He was fined a total of $75 and costs on the summary offense.He was given credit for two days spent in jail on the charges and will begin serving the remaining 28 days at 8 p.m. May 5 and serve them on consecutive two-day weekends.
