KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — A Barry County man will spend between five and 15 years in prison for killing his neighbor.
Michael Curtis had been feuding with Brian Sutherland over an unpaved driveway they shared at their Pike Road properties in Delton.
Curtis was unhappy with the speeds Sutherland used to traverse the driveway, so he dug homemade speed bumps. A confrontation in October 2014 resulted in Sutherland getting struck in the head with a shovel.
Curtis claimed he was defending himself.
