MUNISING -- A judge sentenced a Trenary man on Monday for up to 90 days in jail for operating a snowmobile while impaired.
The state originally charged 26-year-old Nathan Curry with driving while intoxicated and causing serious injury. He hit and ran over Kyriea Schultz with his snowmobile in February 2010. She suffered a punctured lung, as well as rib, back and liver injuries.
Curry's attorney tried to argue jail time was a severe punishment for a first offense, but the judge failed to be persuaded.
"You came to the court, Mr. Curry, without a record of consequence, and that bodes well for you here," said Judge William Carmody. "But like I said, but for the Grace of God, this situation wasn't any worse than it was."
Curry declined to make a statement to the court due to a pending civil case against him regarding the incident.
