MARYSVILLE — Former Bellefontaine area resident John P. Hixon, 51, was recently sentenced to 30 months in prison for his role in the Jan. 4, 2016, death of a contractor at Honda R&D Americans Raymond facility.
In December, Hixon entered a plea of no contest to the charge in Union County Common Pleas Court.
Authorities say he was operating a fork lift in an unsafe manner when its tines hit Ghouse Gulam, 61, in the head.
Gulam died from massive head trauma, according to investigators.
