SEDGWICK COUNY– A Kansas man was sentenced to prison for a 2018 traffic death in south Wichita.
District Judge David Dahl sentenced Monty Carpenter Jr., 36 of Wichita, to just over 6-years in prison, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
In April, Carpenter pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter while in the commission of driving under the influence in the death of 56-year-old Marsha Oglesby of Wichita.
Oglesby died in a two-car crash on September 3rd, 2018, when Carpenter’s vehicle ran a red light at 31st Street S. and McLean Boulevard and struck a vehicle she was driving.
After the crash, Carpenter ran from the scene and crawled beneath a trailer. A Wichita police officer saw Carpenter and arrested him.
Along with the prison sentence, Judge Dahl added 36 months of post release supervision when Carpenter leaves prison and ordered him to pay $7,654.58 in restitution. Carpenter will have to pay $150 a month starting the second month after he is released, according to the district attorney.
