RHINELANDER, Wis. (AP) � A 47-year-old Chicago man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for a hit-and-run accident in Wisconsin that left his fiancee's brother dead.

Raul Valdez pleaded no contest to homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle in June. A charge of hit-and-run involving death was dismissed.
Emergency crews found 43-year-old Richard Thompson of Lac du Flambeau dead in February after receiving a cell phone call reporting a man laying on the shoulder of state Highway 47.

Vilas County deputies identified the car that hit Thompson a short time later and arrested Valdez.

Judge Neal Nielsen also sentenced Valdez on Thursday to 10 years of extended supervision and ordered him to complete an alcohol treatment program.
