City man gets 36 years for killing cyclist


By: Luke Broadwater - Examiner Staff Writer

Baltimore City Circuit Judge John Themelis sentenced Keon Stokes, 29, of Baltimore, to a total of 36 years in prison for second-degree murder in the death of a bicyclist.

Stokes received 30 years for second-degree murder, as well as three years for use of a handgun in the commission of a crime of violence and 18 months each for car theft and arson.

On May 1, 2005, Stokes, in a stolen vehicle, struck and killed Kurt Fulp, 20, while Fulp was riding a bicycle in the 1500 block of Presstman Street, and then fled the scene, prosecutors said.

Police responded to a call of a car fire later that day and determined the burning vehicle matched the description of the one that struck Fulp, according to prosecutors.

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.

My bad, it is an old story.
