31-year-old Nathan Beechley has been sentenced to 4 years in prison and 3 years of mandatory parole stemming from his involvement in a hit-and-run accident last in April of 2013.
Beechley was the driver of a vehicle that struck and killed Jonathan Lewis, 35. Beechley plead guilty to vehicular homicide, a felony in the state of Colorado.
Lewis was apparently walking in a crosswalk at the intersection of Ninth Avenue and Colorado Boulevard at approximately 2 a.m. on April 9, 2013, when Beechley hit and killed him. Beechley fled the scene but was apprehended the next day at an apartment complex in Aurora.
Beechley was also charged with fleeing the scene of an accident, but that charged was dropped as a result of his plea agreement, according to court records.
Prosecutors argued that Beechley's sentence should be the maximum of 6 years for a hit and run homicide. Attorneys for Beechley requested that he be placed on probation.
