A Yucaipa man was sentenced to 15 years to life in state prison today after he admitted in March to killing a 68-year-old woman in a drunk driving related crash.
Glenn Matthew Chiccarelli, 50, was sentenced in San Bernardino Superior Court for the death of Yucaipa resident Frances Fullingim on Feb. 12, 2006.
Chiccarelli pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, as he had been charged, just before a trial was set to begin on Mar. 17.
Chiccarelli had four known prior DUIs, and he was on probation for a DUI when he crashed head-on in Fullingim, according to the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office.
Fullingim was traveling east on Live Oak Canyon Road about 6:15 p.m. in her 2004 Toyota Corolla, according to Redlands police.
Chiccarelli was traveling west on the road, when he reportedly crossed over the center lines in a turn and collided into Fullingim's car, police said. The victim died at the scene.

Non offense Mike, but what happen to Bob Otto? This is not something that would normally be on his blog. This is something that would be better placed in the print paper in the back sections, again no offense. I turn to this blog as a way to find out good things going on in the community that are important and interesting, not a person that committed a crime in 2006 and just sentence (my heart goes out to the families involved). Sorry, but this does not cut it. Tony
