Drunk Driver Sentenced After Hit and Run | Washington DC News

A 37-year-old man, Samuel Call, received a seven-year prison sentence for drunkenly hitting and killing 25-year-old Dylan Knowles on an electric bike—then fleeing the scene. He entered an Alford plea, admitting enough evidence exists for conviction without fully confessing guilt. His punishment also includes five years of supervised probation and a lifetime driver’s license suspension. Call apologized to the Knowles family before sentencing, which included a no-contact order. Dylan, a former Army combat engineer, was remembered as a devoted father and friend. The case underscores the devastating human cost of drunk driving and hit-and-run crimes.
