MARINETTE, WI-- A Wausaukee, Wisconsin man is headed to prison for causing the death of an Ishpeming boy in a drunk-driving accident.
Last October Timothy Christ, 28, was pulling his truck out of a Marinette County bar parking lot when he hit a car in the opposite lane. Christopher “Bubba” Croley, 13, of Ishpeming was killed in the crash. His mother and sister were injured.
Christ pleaded no contest to several felonies, including homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle and operating while intoxicated, causing injury—second offense. His blood alcohol level was 0.27 at the time of the accident.
Christ was sentenced Monday to a minimum of 21 years in prison and 15 years supervised release.
