The man who struck and killed an Ohio Highway Patrol trooper along I-90 in Cleveland has been sentenced to a year in jail after being convicted of misdemeanor charges. A jury acquitted 38-year-old Joshua Gaspar of aggravated homicide and driving under the influence charges in the 2016 death of Trooper Kenneth Velez. Gaspar was sentenced Friday on driving under suspension, falsification and tampering with records charges. Gaspar's actual sentence will be six months because of time served. Authorities say he'd taken a therapeutic dose of methadone before swerving to avoid another car, striking Velez while he directed traffic.
