PAINESVILLE, Ohio -- A 25-year-old Eastlake man was sentenced to 45 years to life in prison Wednesday in Lake County Common Pleas Court for running down and killing his ex-girlfriend, according to Lake County Prosecutors.
Todd O'Brien was found guilty on Dec. 8 of murder, aggravated vehicular homicide, violating a protection order, felonious assault and failure to stop after running over his ex-girlfriend Kayelee Martin, 23, according to Lake County Common Pleas Court documents.
About 3:30 p.m. on June 15, O'Brien ran over Martin, the mother of his 4-year old son, and dragged her body around the Cambridge Condominiums parking lot on Mentor Avenue in Painesville Township.
Martin had a restraining order against O'Brien for stalking and was on the phone with a 9-1-1 operator at the time of the incident. She died on the scene.
O'Brien turned himself into the State Highway Patrol later that day.
