Sivia is charged with two counts of discharging a firearm at an occupied dwelling, attempted malicious wounding, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and use of a firearm during the commission of a felony. On Tuesday, Sivia was held at the Ocean County Jail in Toms River, New Jersey on a fugitive of justice warrant. He is awaiting an extradition hearing that would bring him back to Virginia.
