This should wipe the smile off her face.
A cheating dance instructor who grinned in her mugshot after shooting up a party in a rage at her husband getting pally with a man she was seeing behind his back has been sentenced to at least 16 years in prison.
Olivia Clendenin, 29, was sentenced Thursday in Warren County, Ohio, without apologizing to Daniel Johnson, the innocent partygoer who said his life was changed when she hit him in the abdomen during a deranged drive-by shooting in the early hours of New Year’s Day 2025.
Clendenin had raced to the New Year’s Eve party after hearing her husband was chatting to her boyfriend — and that they had both realized for the first time that she was seeing them both, according to Fox 19.
After failing to persuade her hubby to leave the party, she left to grab a .40 caliber gun — then returned and fired eight shots while driving past in her mom’s Jeep.
Johnson — who was neither her boyfriend nor her husband — said he was just “sitting on the porch minding my business” when one of the bullets hit him in the abdomen.
“The defendant was attempting to shoot at someone else, and I was the one who ended up being shot. In that moment, my life changed for reasons that have nothing to do with me,” the 29-year-old victim told the sentencing hearing, saying the repercussions “have stayed with me.”
Clendenin was convicted of attempted murder, felonious assault and illegal discharge of a firearm and sentenced to 16 to 20 years in prison.
The trial heard audio of a prison call she had made to her mother, complaining that she was the victim of charges that were “ruining a young girl’s life.”
“She has not shown one bit of remorse or concern for the man she shot instead of the one she wanted to shoot,” one of the victim’s relatives told the hearing.
“Because of one person’s rage nothing is the same, and I don’t think it ever will be.”
That continued at her sentencing, where the shooter adddressed her innocent victim, without directly apologizing.
“I would just like to say that I care deeply about my family, my friends, my business and those who rely on me in this world,” Clendenin told the hearing.
“To Daniel, I am very, very glad that he is well after a difficult time he has been through, andI truly hope that he has a great future and I wish him nothing but the best in his future.”
