COQUILLE — After running down Dallas and Marilyn Vance with his truck, Oct. 16, at the Pony Village Mall, North Bend resident Noe Garcia Moncada fled the scene.
Not only that, he returned to work for two days without any concern for the Springfield couple’s welfare, said Judge Martin Stone. His comment came just before handing down Garcia Moncada’s sentence during a hearing Friday morning, at the Coos County Courthouse.
His punishment?
Two consecutive 36-month sentences in the state penitentiary, for a total of six years in prison.
He also would be placed on two years of parole and five years driving suspension. But that’s only if he remains in the country. A citizen of Mexico, Garcia Moncada, 30, also faces deportation at the completion of his sentence.
The Vances died as a result of their injuries from the hit-and-run in the parking lot of the North Bend shopping center. |
