A Cranberry Township man was denied early parole Thursday, July 13, two months shy of the minimum jail sentence he is serving for striking and killing a 22-year-old man while driving drunk in 2018.

David William Lohr, 56, pleaded no contest to charges of homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence and DUI in June 2022, after he struck and killed Aleksander Teimouri of Cranberry Township while he was riding his bicycle home from work at Mad Mex at 11:39 p.m. Dec. 26, 2018.

Lohr was sentenced to serve 22 to 60 months in prison, but was allowed to serve his sentence in the Butler County Prison and granted permission to petition the court to be released on parole after 15 months and serve the balance of the minimum sentence on electronic monitoring.
