DETROIT — On Monday, a judge sentenced one man to prison and a second to probation for their role in the mob attack on a motorist who accidently hit a boy with his truck in Detroit.
Wonzey Saffold, 30, was sentenced in Wayne County Circuit Court to six years and four months to 10 years in prison and Bruce Wimbush, 18, is to serve a sentence of three years’ probation for their involvement in the beating of Steve Utash, 54, on April 2.
Saffold and Wimbush pleaded guilty to assault to have attempted murder charges dropped. Three others have also pled guilty in the attack.
A group of men severely beat Utash after he got out of his pickup truck to check on the 10-year-old boy, who had run in front of him. He was in a coma for several days after the attack.
Two more defendants were scheduled for sentencing on Thursday.
