The passenger charged with yanking a convertible’s steering wheel before it crashed into a motorcycle, launching the motorcyclist into the car’s back seat, is sentenced to six months in jail.
25-year-old Carlos A. Garcia of Chicago was also sentenced in Walworth County Court this week to four years of probation after he pleaded guilty in January to one count of first-degree recklessly endangering safety.
According to the criminal complaint Carlos was in the passenger seat as his sister, Angelica Garcia, drove while intoxicated on Highway 120 north of County H back in August. The two were arguing before they hit Gary Allain, who was riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
Angelica was sentenced to nine months in jail with work release and four years of probation.
