After hearing from several relatives of the four K&B Asphalt Sealcoating employees who died in a crash on Labor Day 2023 — Robert Fox, Ryan Shirley, Jaiden Taylor and Cole Weber — and considering that the Palmyra man who caused the crash, Matt Allen Koester, can no longer drive and needs 24-hour care due to a traumatic brain injury sustained in the crash, Lenawee County Circuit Judge Anna Marie Anzalone on Friday sentenced Koester to one year in the Lenawee County Jail and ordered him to pay more than $100,000 in restitution. The one year in jail was the minimum time recommended by state sentencing guidelines, which took into account the effects of the crime and Koester’s non-existent criminal history.

Anzalone also put Koester on probation for three years. If he violates any probation terms, he could be sentenced to serve more of the maximum 15 years of the attempted reckless driving causing death charges to which he pleaded guilty.
