A hit-skip driver from Medina was sentenced to jail on Monday for an incident that seriously injured a woman last November.
Judge William Hutson sentenced Jayvonte Thomas, 27, to six months in jail, placed him under supervision for five years and ordered him to pay more than $200,000 in restitution.
Thomas was convicted of leaving the scene of an accident, a felony of the fourth degree.

Laura Schmid’s nerves were rattled as she waited anxiously for the sentence in the courtroom.
“Just seeing him today brought everything back,” Schmid said.
Graphic pictures captured Schmid’s horrific injuries, which included deep bruising on her face, nine broken ribs, five broken vertebra, a broken pelvis bone, a broken forehead, a torn liver and a collapsed lung.
“I still have pain. I’m afraid to walk down the sidewalk in my own neighborhood,” she said.
