Troy Allan Greenlund of Harwood, ND, is sentenced to serve six months of a one-year sentence for leaving the scene of an accident involving serious injury.
The plea deal makes the charge a Misdemeanor by Disposition, which means that once he's served his time, plus a year and a half of probation, it will be legally reduced to a misdemeanor.
