Colter Rounds, the motorist who caused a traffic crash that killed 17-year-old Wayland High School student Ethan Mutschler has been sentenced to a year in jail.
Rounds also was ordered to serve five years or probation in his sentencing Thursday in Kent County Circuit Court.
Mutschler, a three-year letterman on the Wayland High School varsity football team as a lineman and a super sub off the bench for the Wildcats’ basketball team, was killed July 12 when the car he was driving was struck broadside on Wilson Avenue in Byron Center. Authorities indicated that Rounds was driving more than 95 mph, 40 mph above the speed limit in that area, before the crash.
Rounds pleaded guilty in December to reckless driving causing death. His request for work release during his jail term was denied.
