9/14/13 - A man accused of intentionally leaving his former girlfriendâs car parked on the railroad tracks in Howell has entered a plea in the case. 29-year-old Adam Lezotte of Howell pleaded guilty to a charge of endangering the travel of a train in Livingston County Circuit Court on Friday - a felony that can carry a possible life sentence. A separate charge of unlawful driving away of a vehicle was dismissed as part of the plea and a defense request for a personal recognizance bond of $300,000 was granted. Court records also show that a request has been made for an eleven month sentence delay. Lezotte was charged after leaving his former girlfriendâs car on the railroad tracks at Dearborn and Marion Streets the evening of January 6th following an argument. An eastbound train was unable to avoid hitting the vehicle, which was empty at the time. He is scheduled to be sentenced in October. (JM)
