Man loses work release for socializing at mall after fatal crash
Ohio man Christopher G. Dennison 25 had work release revoked after a relative saw him socializing at Southern Park Mall Boardman on February 19 while on sentence for involuntary manslaughter and reckless driving in the September 13, 1998 Hillsville crash that killed Albert J. Sandora Jr. Dennison had been granted work release by Judge Glenn McCracken Jr. but was found deviating from the program and attending a bachelor party when the incident occurred. The hearing led by Judge Dominick Motto concluded the mall visit was not work related and revoked the release. Sandora, 52, of Girard, had died in the pickup collision following a dice-game dispute outside a club. Dennison fled the scene and was arrested about nine hours later. Dennison claimed he did not realize he had struck Sandora.
