A St. Paul man was sentenced Friday, November 16, after pleading guilty to running over a boy who was going to greet his soldier father at Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport last December.
Tommy Rodriguez, 61, hit 6-year-old Zachary Drew of Coon Rapids with his sport utility vehicle in the airport parking ramp on December 16.
Zachary was walking hand-in-hand with his mother and three younger siblings as they made their way to a reunion with Zachary's father, Richard Drew, who had recently moved with them from Oklahoma to Coon Rapids.
The SUV hit and dragged Zachary 15 feet before crashing into a wall. The boy suffered a broken leg and facial injuries.
Rodriguez pleaded guilty to one felony count of criminal vehicular operation. He was sentenced to three years probation, 120 days in the Hennepin County Workhouse, 120 hours of community service and restitution to be determined for the boy's injuries, according to the Hennepin County Attorney's Office.
