Two days later, the North Carolina State Highway Patrol arrested 62 year old Jeffrey Scott Haigler, a resident of Sunset Beach, in connection to the hit and run.

Haigler was sentenced to 24 months of probation, 8 hours of driving schools, and 100 hours of community service, according to the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office.

Among the recipients are Wilmington International Airport and Curtis L. Brown Jr. Field Airport in Elizabethtown.
