(La Porte, IN) - Sentencing has been scheduled for a La Porte man who struck a toddler with a car.

 

La Porte Police said Eric Levine was having a friend repair his vehicle six months ago at a house on Grove St.
 

When finished, police said the 54 year old Levine was backing up in the driveway of the home when he struck the two year old boy, who was behind the vehicle.

 

Police alleged Levine was under the influence of marijuana at the time.

 

The boy wound up being airlifted to a hospital in Indianapolis but returned home with just a broken arm.  

 

Details of the plea agreement, so far, have not been revealed.

 

He’s scheduled to be sentenced on October 3 if Judge Julianne Havens accepts the terms of the guilty plea.
