Sixteen Years for Fatal Crash and Flight | Des Moines News

A 64-year-old man, Troy Dolph, just received a 16-year prison sentence after fatally crashing into and killing a 40-year-old man, Robert Given, then fleeing the scene. The truck was caught by an automated license plate reader. Dolph faced multiple charges including DWI, leaving the scene, evading police, and driving with a suspended license. His pretrial release was revoked twice—once for missing court and again for breaking curfew and testing positive for meth—highlighting his troubled behavior. Though he pleaded guilty and his lawyer begged for probation, citing his addiction and remorse, the judge ruled prison was necessary due to his repeated violations and inability to be safely supervised. Dolph, who admitted he needs treatment, now faces 16 years behind bars.
