MARQUETTE, MI-- A Big Bay man convicted in the hit-and-run death of resident Robin Rahoi has been sentenced.
On Monday Michael Nelson, 46, was given nine months in jail, to be served immediately, followed by two years’ probation.
A jury in October found Nelson guilty of failure to stop at the scene of an accident when at fault, resulting in death. His vehicle struck the 54-year-old Rahoi on Lighthouse Road last December 17, then left the scene.
Nelson was immediately taken into custody after he was sentenced.
