Rockville, Md. (AP) - Fifteen years in prison is the sentence for the US Marshal convicted of killing a man following a traffic dispute in Rockville.
A Montgomery County (website - news) judge sentenced Arthur Lloyd to a total of 25-years, but suspended ten. Lloyd showed no emotion as the sentence was read.
The now-retired Marshal was convicted of manslaughter, reckless endangerment and handgun charges in the October 28th shooting death of Ryan Stowers.
The Navy seaman and the off-duty Marshal got into a dispute and both pulled into a shopping center. Authorities say Lloyd shot Stowers, who then tried to get away. During the trial, several witnesses testified that Lloyd then opened fire again, killing Stowers.
At Tuesday's sentencing, Lloyd asked Stowers' family to forgive him.
