A Washington man accused of taking part in the brutal beatings of two brothers in a Houston parking lot roughly two years ago was sentenced Monday to 2 to 4 years in prison.

Troy L. Wilson, 22, pleaded guilty before Washington County Judge John DiSalle to one felony count of aggravated assault. He originally faced 10 charges in total, but the remaining charges were dismissed as a part of a plea agreement.

Wilson, along with co-defandant Cameron Reihner, 22, of Washington, was accused of attacking Jonathan Irizarry and his brother, Stephen, with an aluminum baseball bat in Houston after the men got into an argument at Denny’s restaurant in Canton Township June 23, 2012. Reihner followed the brothers from the restaurant to a business parking lot in the 100 block of West Pike Street, where the attack occurred.

A Washington County jury found Reihner guilty in January on two counts each of aggravated assault, simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment, and one count each of reckless endangerment and possessing an instrument of crime. He has not yet been sentenced, and remains in Washington County jail.

The brothers’ mother, Awilda Rivera, briefly addressed the court before Wilson’s sentencing. Rivera said Jonathan suffered terribly since the attack. She said he suffers from “post-traumatic stress disorder-related attacks,” limited vision in one eye and continued surgeries.

“I don’t think what was agreed to was enough,” Rivera said. “This has ruined a family.”

In addition to the prison sentence, DiSalle also ordered Wilson to pay $12,000 in restitution to the brothers, attend drug and alcohol counseling and undergo anger management counseling. Wilson is also ordered not to have contact with the victims and their family.

DiSalle said Wilson was eligible to serve his sentence via a boot camp.

Wilson remains free on bond. He is set to begin serving his sentence April 17.
