LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) — A 37-year-old Leavenworth man has been sentenced to 3.5 years in jail for a fatal hit-and-run. Justen Michael McCarter was sentenced Thursday in the death of 44-year-old Adam Wheeler in March 2020. Police say McCarter was speeding on a stolen motorcycle when he hit Wheeler, who was crossing a Leavenworth street. KSHB-TV reports witnesses told police McCarter was drag racing when he hit Wheeler. McCarter pleaded guilty in October to involuntary manslaughter and possession of a stolen motorcycle.
