MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A 26-year-old man who ran over a woman in downtown Hopkins while he was on a pizza delivery run has been spared prison.
Cole Leon Venables, of Minnetonka, was sentenced Thursday in to a year in the workhouse after pleading guilty to criminal vehicular homicide in connection with the death of Olivia DeMeuse on April 16.
DeMeuse was struck by a car Venables was driving as she walked on a sidewalk. Two witnesses told police they saw Venables swerve and strike a light pole before hitting DeMeuse. Venables told officers he had fallen asleep behind the wheel.
