Fatal hit-run results in 4 month sentence

A man who accidentally hit and killed a pedestrian has been sentenced to four months in jail and a year of probation. Twenty-5-year-old Jerry Don Fuller was sentenced for failing to stop his vehicle or render aid after he accidentally struck and killed Alvin Lee Talksdifferent, Jr., a 28-year-old member of the Northern Arapaho Tribe. Authorities say Talksdifferent was intoxicated and walking in Fuller's lane of travel. Fuller was sentenced July 24 in Lander by United States Magistrate Judge Teresa McKee to four months' incarceration, one year of supervised release, a $2,500 fine, and a $25 special assessment. The sentence was announced Friday.
