OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas man was sentenced to nearly 19 years in prison for causing a traffic accident that killed a part-time police officer.

Dana Patton, of Olathe, was sentenced Tuesday in the October 2015 crash that killed David Stubbs, a part-time officer in Louisburg.

The 25-year-old Patton had previously pleaded guilty to reckless second-degree murder.

Prosecutors say Patton was driving a stolen car when he ran a red light at an intersection in Overland Park and hit Stubbs’ vehicle.

The Kansas City Star reports that at the time of the wreck, Patton was free on bond in several other auto theft cases.
