The Citizens’ Voice has more details:
Maxwell Materazzi-Hatala smashed the legs of city Department of Public Works employee Steven Pierson with his car, then fled and tried to cover up the crash.
On Monday, a judge sent the Old Forge man to prison for nine to 18 months followed by seven years of probation for his crimes. He must also pay $1,900 in fines and complete 1,000 hours of community service.
“It is very fortunate for you that Mr. Pierson survived,” Judge Margaret Bisignani Moyle said. “If he did not, you would be standing in a very different place.”
