1-18-14 long prison sentence for man convicted of striking pedestrian on winnebago drive

A Fond du lac man convicted of plowing his car into a Fond du Lac woman walking along Winnebago Drive is going to prison.  Judge Robert Wirtz has sentenced 47 year old Aarron Schmitz to 11 years in prison followed by five and a half years extended supervision.  Last November Schmitz pleaded guilty to charges of causing injury by use of a vehicle while under the influence of a controlled substance and bail jumping. Investigators say Schmitz  veered off Winnebago Drive near Bechaud Beach Drive last May striking and critically injuring 46 year old Traci Luther of Fond du lac.  Sheriff’s captain Rick Olig says Schmitz later told investigators he smoke marijuana and  drank a bottle of whiskey the night before the incident.
