A Leavenworth man has been sentenced to 3.5 years in jail for a fatal hit-and-run. Justen Michael McCarter, 37, was sentenced Thursday in the death of Adam Wheeler, 44, in March 2020.
Police say McCarter was speeding on a stolen motorcycle when he hit Wheeler, who was crossing a Leavenworth street. Witnesses told police McCarter was drag racing when he hit Wheeler.
McCarter pleaded guilty in October to involuntary manslaughter and possession of a stolen motorcycle.
