Alan Walker (Cass County Jail)
FARGO (KFGO) – A Moorhead man who injured two people in a head-on crash and fled the scene north of Oxbow in January was given a two-and-a-half year sentence after changing his plea in Cass County District Court Monday.
The case of 28-year-old Alan Walker was set to go to jury trial Tuesday after he initially pleaded not guilty in the case. Prosecutors agreed to dismiss three of five felony charges against him in return for guilty pleas on two other counts: leaving the scene of an accident that caused injury and escaping arrest.
Walker was southbound on County Road 81 in the early morning hours of January 30 when his SUV crossed the center line and hit another SUV, sending the driver and her passenger, both of Fargo, to the hospital for serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Walker fled the scene to his home in rural Clay County. He was later located by deputies and brought to Sanford to be treated for his injuries where he again tried to flee but a state trooper was able to stop him.
Walker’s 30-month sentence includes 18 months in state prison and a year on probation. He will get credit for 140 days of time-served.
