Deer Park, NY - March 15, 2017 - A Coram man who pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter was sentenced today to a prison term of three to six years, Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota said.
Stephan Harbison, 28, crashed into a tree off Straight Path in Deer Park in January of 2015. A passenger in his vehicle, Hamzah Abdul-Hakim of Wyandanch, died at the scene.
Harbison had a blood alcohol of .15%, nearly double the legal limit (.08%).
State Supreme Court Justice Fernando Camacho sentenced Harbison to one to three years’ imprisonment for driving while intoxicated, a term to be served concurrently to the vehicular manslaughter sentence.
