Johnny
Sak, 25, pleaded guilty in court to charges connected to the 2015 death of
22-year-old Alexandra Patten Parenteau, according to the office of
Attorney General Peter Kilmartin.
The
judge sentenced Sak to 30 years in prison, with 20 to serve and 10 years
suspended with probation. Sak will also lose his driver’s license for eight
years upon his release from the ACI, the AG’s office said.
Had
the case proceeded to trial, prosecutors said they were prepared to prove that
Sak was drunk when he crashed his car into a telephone pole on Mendon Road on
the night of Dec. 8, 2015.
Patten
Parenteau, the front-seat passenger, succumbed to her injuries at the hospital, police said. The Woonsocket resident had given
birth to a baby girl just four months prior to the crash.
Police
said three backseat passengers suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the
crash.
According
to the AG’s office, blood work at the hospital showed Sak’s BAC was
approximately 0.16 at the time of the crash – twice the legal limit – and also
revealed the presence of cocaine.
Sak
pleaded guilty Monday to charges of DUI, death resulting and driving to
endanger, death resulting. In addition, the AG’s office said he pleaded
guilty to a firearms charge in a separate case and admitted to violating his
probation. He was sentenced to serve two years for the firearms charge and
three years for the probation violation, both of which will run consecutive to
the DUI sentence.
