Nebraska Man Gets 8-12 Years for Injuring Boy in Hit-and-Run

gavel-and-scaleLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 24-year-old man has been given eight to 12 years in prison for injuring an 11-year-old Lincoln boy in a hit-and-run accident.

Court records say Jared St. Louis, of Staplehurst, also was sentenced on Wednesday to 60 days for driving under the influence. The sentences are to be served consecutively. He’d pleaded no contest and was convicted of felony failure to stop and render aid and to misdemeanor driving under the influence. The latter charge was lowered in exchange for St. Louis’ pleas.

Police say Dominic “Dom” Walker was riding his bike to Culler Middle School on Oct. 1 when he was hit by a pickup driven by St. Louis while running a red light. St. Louis drove away after the accident.
