URBANA – A Champaign County judge this morning found a man who shot at Champaign police officers last summer, wounding one seriously, not guilty of attempted murder by reason of insanity.

Donnell Clemons, 47, who was homeless at the time of his June 7 arrest, will now go to a secure mental health facility maintained by the Illinois Department of Human Services. He cannot be held any longer than the maximum amount of time he faced in prison for the crimes – 40 to 100 years.
