Man gets probation, jail for Sarpy County crash death

jailPAPILLION, Neb. (AP) — A 27-year-old Omaha man has been given probation and some jail time for the crash death of a motorcyclist in Sarpy County.

Online court records say Joshua Spencer was sentenced Thursday to 20 days in jail and two years of probation and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine. Spencer had pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of vehicular homicide. A traffic violation was dismissed in exchange for his plea.

The accident occurred May 29 on the west side of La Vista. Police say the eastbound motorcycle collided with Spencer’s westbound car that turned left in front of the motorcycle. The motorcyclist was identified as Jeremy Liford.
