RENO, Nev. (AP) — A Reno man has pleaded not guilty to vehicular manslaughter charges days after being linked to a string of stolen vehicles, robberies and car chases.
The Reno Gazette-Journal reports (http://on.rgj.com/1JYK8EG ) 27-year-old Stephen Christie pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter charges Wednesday. The charges stem from the July death of 27-year-old Alejandro Sandoval, who was struck and killed in a traffic accident.
Christie faces 10 charges, including vehicular manslaughter, armed robbery and eluding police.
Police connected Christie to a stolen vehicle and arrested him Monday after a chase.
Authorities say stolen vehicles have been used in recent robberies at a Walmart and a Ford dealership.
Christie will enter pleas to the other charges Thursday.
His attorney has declined to comment on the manslaughter case.
