The man convicted of killing the town marshall in the South Bend suburb of Roseland in 2008 has been sentenced to 66 years behind bars. 27-year-old Alexander Orta was found guilty last year of running over Craig Toner, who was off-duty riding his motorcycle. Orta crossed the centerline on Ironwood Road in South Bend and struck Toner with his SUV. Investigators say Toner sat up after the crash, but Orta ran over him. Orta was reportedly intoxicated and had cocaine in his system at the time. His family plans to appeal the sentence.
