MARYVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - An eastern Tennessee man has been sentenced to eight years in prison in the death of a bicyclist.
Tommy Lee Carroll pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide in the 2006 death of Jeffrey Roth and was sentenced Monday in Blount County Circuit Court.
The 48-year-old Friendsville man struck Roth while he was riding on U.S. 321 near Maryville.
Carroll's attorney, Steve Ward, says his client may have been suffering a seizure at the time of the accident. Carroll was not taking prescribed medicine to prevent seizures because he could not afford it.
