Ex-teacher in New Jersey is Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison for the Murder of her Retired Cop Boyfriend
A man who drove drunk and and admitted that he struck and killed a motorist standing on the shoulder of the Garden State Parkway last year was sentenced Friday to seven years in state prison, authorities said.
On September 5, 2020, Sandoval-Guerrero was driving south on the Parkway near milepost 86 in Toms River when he struck Daniel Cintron, 50, of Ossining, New York, and another individual, according to officials. According to the office, the two were exchanging insurance information on the side of the highway minutes after being involved in a small two-vehicle collision.
Cintron was flung onto the highway and was driven over by passing automobiles, officials said. He was declared dead at the scene. The second motorist, a Staten Island resident of 21, was struck in the left arm.
According to the office, Sandoval-Guerrero went south on the highway, abandoned his 2002 Mercury Mountaineer on the shoulder, and fled. Later, he was apprehended along Route 9 and Church Road in Toms River.
Officials stated he was transferred to Community Medical Center in Toms River, where lab findings revealed he had a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of.146 percent when his blood was obtained. In New Jersey, the legal limit is.08.
Since his arrest, Sandoval-Guerrero has been incarcerated in the Ocean County Jail.
In addition to his state jail sentence, Sandoval-driving Guerrero's rights were suspended for ten years by a court, which will commence upon his release, according to the statement. In addition, the judge ordered that he install an ignition interlock device on his automobile for one year after the ten-year suspension of his driving privileges expired, in compliance with recent modifications in DWI regulations.
Ignition-locking devices work like a standard breathalyzer, requiring potential drivers to blow into a tube to produce a blood-alcohol measurement. If a driver's blood alcohol level exceeds.05 percent, the device prevents the automobile from starting. After the car starts going, the device asks the driver to blow into the tube on a regular basis to ensure that it is genuinely evaluating the driver.
First-time offenders with a blood alcohol concentration of.08 percent to.10 percent must install an interlock device in their car for three months. An offender with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.10 percent to 0.15 percent would be obliged to wear a device for seven to twelve months.
