Suspect charged in killing sentenced in drug case
PORT HURON (AP) - A man charged with killing a 14-year-old girl in July as she walked her dog in southeastern Michigan has been sentenced in a separate drug case.
James VanCallis of Wales Township told the court in St. Clair County on Monday "marijuana has been a problem that's been ongoing as far as it's hindered me more than helped me." The Times Herald of Port Huron reports he was sentenced to a year in jail.
The 32-year-old earlier pleaded guilty to manufacturing marijuana. His father also pleaded guilty to manufacturing marijuana.
Authorities say James VanCallis hit April Millsap with a motorcycle helmet and stomped on her in Armada near a popular Macomb County trail. He's charged with first-degree murder and assault with intent to rape. He's due in court next month.
