St. Joseph Man Sentenced for Hit-and-Run that Killed Boy in April

Joseph man was sentenced Thursday for a hit-and-run that killed a 5-year-old boy in April. He was facing two counts and pleaded guilty to the one count in exchange for the other count being dropped. Thirty-two-year-old Jeremy Brian Ulik pleaded guilty in September to one count of failing to stop at a collision, causing injury or death, according to court documents. Police used video from the school bus to find the vehicle. The boy was hit by the vehicle on April 13 as his mother waited across the street for his sister to get off a school bus.
