WARWICK, R.I. (WPRI) — A Warwick man was sentenced to prison Wednesday for hitting and killing a North Kingstown woman while driving drunk last year.

Daniel Famiglietti, 60, pleaded no contest to one count of driving under the influence, resulting in death, according to R.I. Attorney General Peter Neronha's office.

He was sentenced to 15 years with seven to serve at the ACI and eight suspended with probation.

The crash on June 20, 2024, claimed the life of 53-year-old Linda Sherman.

Neronha's office said the state was prepared to prove that Famiglietti, a retired Providence police officer, was under the influence when he hit Sherman with his Jeep from behind as she rode a tricycle in the breakdown lane of Boston Neck Road.

Sherman was rushed to the hospital, where she died.
