In May, Ge-bert, who was driving south on Broadway, drove in the northbound lane on Broadway into an oncoming traffic lane in front of Hogg Middle School, Vance said. The jury took eight minutes to convict Gebert, Vance said.
Although no one was injured, the jury also made an affirmative finding of the vehicle as a deadly weapon, he said.
Defense attorney O.W. Lloyd represented Gebert.
