A Pennsylvania man accused of fatally striking a pedestrian then heading to a bar for a drink has been sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.
Thirty-five-year-old Joshua Stockman, of South Whitehall Township, was sentenced Tuesday to three to 10 years on a hit-and-run charge. The Morning Call reports that Judge Kelly Banach said he left 32-year-old Ruby Marrero of Allentown lying like "garbage in the street."
Police say Marrero was walking to an Allentown corner store when she was hit in February. She died a week later.
Investigators say Stockman drove off after hitting her, ditched his vehicle and went to a bar. He later turned himself in.
Stockman pleaded guilty in August. His lawyer said he has apologized to Marrero's family.
