Man Found Guilty In Security Guard's Hit-And-Run Death Sentenced

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – The man found guilty in the hit-and-run death of a security guard at a Sacramento nightclub has been sentenced to four years in prison.

Last month a jury found 24-year-old Michael Weisz not guilty of second-degree murder, but guilty of hit-and-run in the death of 64-year-old security guard Leroy Fisher outside The Depot/Badlands Dance Club on September 23, 2009. He was also convicted of DUI while on bail.

The judge gave Weisz credit for time served in jail and for good behavior, reducing his sentence by 312 days. He was also sentenced to six months in prison for DUI, and will serve both sentences concurrently. Weisz was sentenced to four years of probation.

Police said that Weisz ran over Fisher after he and a friend were kicked out of the bar earlier in the night.

Fisher, known as 'Pops', worked at the club for 10 years.
