CANTON: A woman responsible for the traffic accident that killed Uniontown Police Capt. Dan Stiles early this year avoided jail time by pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of vehicular manslaughter. Sandra C. Boyes, 40, was sentenced in Canton Municipal Court to 90 days in jail, with all but 45 days suspended, and had her driver’s license suspended for two years. In the plea deal with the city prosecutor’s office, Boyes will have to spend those 45 days under house arrest at her residence. As part of that sentence, which was scheduled to begin Sept. 1, Municipal Judge Stephen Belden ordered Boyes to wear an electronic monitoring device. Belden allowed Boyes to have driving privileges to and from work and church during her time under house arrest, as well as the entire two years of the license suspension. Boyes, formerly of Uniontown, now lives in Akron, her attorney, Jeffrey Jakmides, said after Tuesday’s brief hearing.Boyes declined to comment about her case, Jakmides said, except to express sincere sympathy to Stiles’ family and appreciation for the community support Jakmides said she received since the Feb. 15 accident. Ohio Highway Patrol troopers said Boyes was driving a 2004 Ford Explorer when it struck Stiles, who was directing morning traffic at state Route 619 and Kaufman Avenue in Uniontown. Stiles was 46 and a father of three. He suffered head and internal injuries and died at Akron City Hospital three hours after the accident. Boyes told troopers at the time that sun glare hampered her view of the road and that she did not see Stiles until just before impact. After Tuesday’s sentencing, Canton City Prosecutor Ty Hauritz said the government agreed to the plea deal because Boyes did not intend to hit the officer. “I think the sun glare played a major factor,” Hauritz said. Boyes, he said, had no record of any kind before the February accident. “Not even a speeding ticket,” Jakmides said. A first-degree misdemeanor charge of vehicular homicide was dismissed in exchange for the guilty plea. Hauritz said he discussed the terms of the plea deal beforehand with Stiles’ wife, Tiffany, and the officer’s mother. “It’s a tragic situation for everyone involved, but they wanted to have closure without having a trial. This was the sentence they desired,” Hauritz said. The maximum penalties for vehicular manslaughter are 90 days in jail, a $750 fine and a three-year license suspension, Jakmides said. Boyes also was ordered by the judge to perform 200 hours of community service. She will fulfill that obligation, Jakmides said, at her church.
