Man sentenced in fatal fall of former Manhattan teen after drinking party

CourtTEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — One of the men accused of alcohol-related violations in connection with the fatal fall of an Arizona State University student has been sentenced.

A Maricopa County Superior Court spokeswoman says Commissioner Julie Newell sentenced David Siegal to 18 months of probation with a deferred jail term of 45 days.

Siegal also must complete 30 hours community service and cannot consume alcohol.

The 20-year-old Siegal pleaded guilty earlier this month to one misdemeanor count of being a minor in possession of liquor.

Naomi McClendon plunged 10 floors to her death March 30 from an apartment complex near ASU’s campus.

Tempe police say the 18-year-old woman from Manhattan, Kansas, initially attended an “all-you-can-drink” party thrown by ASU fraternity members.

Surveillance video showed her stumbling and intoxicated when she entered the residential building.
