A Kentucky man who was released on bail in a previous case days before he carjacked a truck while high on drugs and killed a high school cheerleader in a wrong-way crash has learned his fate.

Michael Jacob Dewitt, 31, was sentenced to over 24 years in prison for a 2021 carjacking that killed Madelynn Troutt, 17. He pleaded guilty in October to a federal charge of carjacking resulting in death.
