Man responsible for Main Street incident sentenced THE RECORDER [email protected] The man who was responsible for the incident on Main Street in July that led to a Porterville Police Officer shooting him has been sentenced. 44-year-old Lukas Drak was sentenced to 18 years and 8 months in a Tulare County Courthouse on Wednesday morning. Drak, who has an extensive criminal history and is a registered sex offender, pleaded no contest to all charges and enhancements against him. Among his charges were assault with a deadly weapon as a result of the incident that happened on Main Street on Thursday night, July 9. Porterville Police described the incident as drug-induced. Drak was involved in an incident at the Glenwood Apartments where he broke into one of the apartments and stabbed a resident. A foot chase involving a PPD officer and Drak eventually ensued on Main Street and Drak was shot in the leg by the officer. Drak still made his way into The Mecca armed with a knife and a screwdriver and after he was tased several times officers were eventually finally able to subdue him. PPD stressed The Mecca had nothing to do with the event. The sentencing was quick due to a detailed police report. Drak was on parole and wearing an ankle monitor at the time of the incident. Porterville Police Chief said the actions of the officer who shot Drak and other officers likely prevented a potential tragedy from happening.
