The motorcyclist accused of driving 140 mph during a Jan. 28 police chase and subsequent crash near Suwannee that ultimately led to a Georgia trooper’s death has pleaded guilty.
The Gwinnett County District Attorney says Gerson Danilo Ayala-Rodriguez, 21, was given a 17-year sentence in the death of trooper Jimmy Cenescar.
Cenescar, 28, was attempting to pull over a motorcycle for a traffic violation around 5:30 p.m., when his patrol car left the road and hit an embankment. He was on I-85 near Old Peachtree Road at the time.
