RICHMOND — A local resident was sentenced to two months in a work program — as an alternative to jail — for killing a man in a drunk driving, hit-and-run crash, court records show.
Jesse Dubois, 34, of Richmond, pleaded no contest to vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, hit-and-run and leaving the scene of a crash. In return, he was sentenced to 60 days in a work alternative program, which requires participants to spend eight to 10 hours doing community service until their time is served.
Dubois was arrested hours after he killed 68-year-old Wolfgang Reinhardt Hebold in a May 7, 2022 crash near 19th Street and Rumrill Boulevard in San Pablo. Police said at the time that they were able to “quickly” identify his 2011 burgundy Nissan Sentra as the suspect vehicle, and when they found the car it was damaged.
Hebold was on a bicycle when Dubois ran into him, authorities said.
The criminal complaint indicates that Dubois had no prior convictions. He received credit for nine days of time behind bars, which counts toward the 60 days in the program, records show. His sentence started in mid-November.
Dubois also faces a two-year probation term, according to court records.
