Ex-deputy resentenced for drunken crash, chase across Muskegon County - MLive.com
The Michigan Court of Appeals in May ordered that Haan be resentenced because his guidelines were scored too high when he was sentenced Nov. Hicks sentenced him to between 14 months and five years in the Michigan Department of Corrections for third-degree fleeing and eluding police and third-offense driving while intoxicated. His parole ends in July 2016. Haan's minimum sentence was at the bottom end of a guideline range scored at 14 to 29 months. That range called for a sentence to state prison rather than the Muskegon County Jail, which is only possible with a sentence of one year or less. But according to the appeals court, Haan's sentencing guidelines should have been scored at one to two years. Had he been sentenced at the bottom end of that range, it would have meant a sentence to county jail. Resentencing at this stage obviously couldn't change what Haan already served, but it could have taken him off parole supervision if Hicks had decided on a bottom-of-the-guidelines sentence. Hicks on Tuesday again sentenced Haan to 14 months to five years. 11, 2013, found Haan "guilty but mentally ill" of third-degree fleeing and eluding police, resisting and obstructing police and third-offense driving while intoxicated.
