He Showed ‘No Accountability’: Driver Gets 9 Years for Killing Beloved Point Place Cyclist on New Year’s Eve
A Lucas County judge sentenced a 74-year-old driver to nine years in prison on Thursday for the New Year’s Eve hit-and-run that killed a beloved Toledo cyclist in Point Place.
Marcus Deamicis was sentenced Thursday, Nov. 12, for the death of Tim Haase, who was killed while cycling home on Dec. 31. Haase was stopped at a red light when he was struck. Deamicis fled the scene.
Deamicis was later charged with aggravated vehicular homicide.
The judge cited a lack of accountability on Deamicis’s part in handing down the sentence.
Haase was known in the Toledo cycling community as a safety-conscious rider, and his death drew an outpouring of grief in January.
