Three Years For McMahon
Sonora, CA — Monday 30 year old Nicholas Brian McMahon of Sonora was sentenced to three years in state prison for the hit and run death of 45 year old Stacey Stone of Sonora.
The accident occurred October 19th of last year on Tuolumne Rd. at 8:30pm while Stone was walking home.
McMahon pleaded to a felony count of leaving the scene of a fatal accident. Two charges of driving under the influence were dropped as a sobriety test could not be administered because McMahon had left the scene. He admitted that he knew he had hit something but he didn’t know it was a person.
McMahon did not turn himself in until two days after the accident. McMahon already had a DUI on his record from 2006.
