Tyler Mailloux
A Berlin man will serve 18 months in jail after pleading guilty to one felony count in the death of Gavin Knupp, a 14-year-old pedestrian who was struck and killed the night of July 11, 2022.
In Worcester County Circuit Court Wednesday, Judge Brett Wilson sentenced Tyler Mailloux, 24, to 10 years, with all but 18 months suspended, for leaving the scene of the hit-and-run accident that resulted in Knupp’s death.
Upon his release, he will serve three years of supervised probation.
“Unfortunately, here, we could not avoid and cannot fix what has happened,” Wilson said from the bench. “And if I could, I would, and I know you all would.”
On July 11, 2022, at around 10:45 p.m., a driver in a black Mercedes traveling east on Grays Corner Road struck and killed Knupp, who was reportedly returning to a vehicle driven by his older sister.
Not nearly long enough. When money talks…………judges listen!!!!
In my opinion, not nearly enough time behind bars. I’d expect a massive wrongful death civil suit is about to start.
No where near enough time for him to think about himself, like he’s been doing for the last two years
He pretty. He’s also lucky not to have to go to state prison, maybe doing his time at WCDC, just miles from home.
Ironic that he’ll be in an orange jumpsuit pick up trash on the same road he drove away from.
