Troy man gets jail time for reckless driving near first responders
A local man is lodged in the Lincoln County Detention Center following his conviction for negligent endangerment for passing multiple emergency vehicles earlier this year as they prepared to set up for an ALERT helicopter pickup on U.S. 2.
Mark Thomas Whipple, of Troy, received a one-year sentence in the jail after a trial on Dec. 13. He was tried by county Attorney Marcia Boris and defended by Scott B. Johnson. A jury convicted him of negligent endangerment, substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.
Justice Court Judge Jay C. Sheffield ordered that Whipple serve 30 days with 335 days suspended. Whipple must also pay a $1,085 in fines and fees. He will be released on Jan. 12, 2024, according to court documents.
