Kevin Noonan, 63, of Manchester, pleaded guilty to guilty to leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident resulting in death and a related traffic offense
Kevin Noonan, of Manchester, pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident resulting in death and a related traffic offense, according to Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer.
In addition to a prison term, a judge ordered Noonan’s driver’s license to be suspended for three years in total, the prosecutor said. He was also fined $2.500. Noonan stopped at the Whiting home of 69-year-old Jack Gotfried around 3:45 p.m. April 13, 2021 to pick up furniture that Gotfried was giving away, according to authorities. The men did not know each other before the encounter.
“In the course of loading the furniture onto Noonan’s vehicle, Noonan backed his vehicle up at a high rate of speed and struck Mr. Gotfried - pinning him between the rear of the vehicle and a truck parked in front of the residence. Noonan then fled the scene, leaving Mr. Gotfried injured in the roadway,” Billhimer said in a statement.
Gotfried died at an area hospital, authorities said. A prosecutor’s office detective arrested Noonan a short time later when he was seen walking on Western Boulevard in Lacey.
