Eastern Kentucky Teen Sentenced For Deadly Hit and Run
18 year old Dale Wells Junior was sentenced to a term of 13 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to manslaughter in connection with a deadly hit and run accident that killed Cecil Curtis last March.
Authorities say that the teen was driving high on drugs and hit Curtis’ motorcycle head on.
Wells tried to persuade the judge to allow him to withdraw his guilty plea because he didn’t realize that he would have to serve a lengthy prison term.
The judge denied the request. Wells will be eligible for parole in 11 years.
