The driver of a vehicle has pleaded guilty to charges related an incident involving the 2023 shooting of a New York state trooper in Schenectady County.

According to officials, Alicia Eriole, 31, has pleaded guilty to second-degree criminal facilitation charges.

This is in relation to an incident that took place on Interstate 88 in the town of Duanesburg in June of last year. 

She is accused of being an accomplice in a series of events, including the shooting of a trooper, carjacking and several related vehicle collisions. Investigators say a passenger in the vehicle she was driving, Nelson Troche, shot Trooper Richard Albert during a traffic stop.

Albert was treated and released from Ellis Hospital the same day.

Troche was found an hour and a half after the incident with a self-inflicted gun shot wound. He later died at Albany Medical Center.

Schenectady County District Attorney Robert Carney says Eriole helped her then-boyfriend Nelson by reclining her seat in the car during a traffic stop, allowing him to shoot the trooper.

Eriole is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 5.
