Man Who Struck and Killed West Bloomfield Man With SUV in Northville Sentenced to 3 Years Probation
Kevin Alexander will also have to pay $11,000 in restitution.
Kevin Alexander, 43, of South Lyon, has been sentenced to three years probation for striking and killing a 25-year-old West Bloomfield man with his sport-utility vehicle in downtown Northville.
He will also have to pay restitution in the amount of $11,050, court costs and complete 100 hours of community service, according to the Wayne County prosecutor's office. He was sentenced on Thursday.
During the first year of his probation, Alexander will go to jail on the weekends. In the second year, he will wear a tether.
Alexander was driving on Griswold Street in downtown Northville in December 2011 when he struck and killed Joshua Green, who was walking in the street. Alexander sped away from the scene, sparking a search for the vehicle and driver.
He turned himself in earlier this year. In May, he pleaded no contest to the charge of failure to stop at the scene of a serious personal injury accident.

This is ridiculous! He struck and killed a man and then took off. We'll never know if he was driving while impaired. This sentence will do nothing to discourage others from doing the same thing.

I thought I misunderstood the case or I missed something, can't believe the sentence for a hit and run resulting in a death and he gets slapped on the wrist. One of three things: 1) The guy has serious connections 2) The lawyer has serious connections and called his markers in for this guy 3) The judge is bought and paid for. Nothing else, I do this and I get buried under the prison.

Johann, "ridiculous" is not even a strong enough word for this. To think that he killed a young man with his whole life ahead of him, and this is all he gets?!? I think it is outragious. We don't know if he was driving while drunk or on drugs. And even if he wasn't, he KILLED someone and LEFT THE SCENE. I could go on and on because I just can't believe the injustice of this. It must be hard enough on Joshua Green's loved ones that he was taken from them so senselessly, but to know that his killer has virtually gone free with nothing more than some inconvenience in his life will probably sentence them to a lifetime of unresolved grief.
