NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) A 33-year-old man who admitted he drove the gunman away from a fatal shooting at a Norwich bar in 2012 has been sentenced to the two years he already has served in prison.

Steven Velez was sentenced Wednesday in New London Superior Court to time served on a charge of hindering prosecution.

Velez's sentence was handed down a week after David Grant was sentenced to 47 years in prison for manslaughter after firing into a crowd at the now-closed Mai Thai Restaurant and Bar on June 24, 2012.

Velez testified in March that that Grant told him he fired at a rival drug dealer who was standing on the back deck of the bar.

Grant killed a bystander, 45-year-old Donna Richardson of New London and injured another woman.
