WILLISTON, N.D. - A Tioga man was sentenced Friday for killing his passenger and leaving the scene of an accident four years ago.

Williams County District Judge Joshua Rustad ordered 27-year-old Dacotah Hanson to serve 10 years in prison with five suspended, followed by three years of supervised probation.

Hanson was found guilty in March for recklessly driving a pickup in a field near Tioga, which overturned and killed 29-year-old Draik Jessen. Hanson apologized to the victim’s family during the hearing.
