SEDGWICK COUNTY —On Tuesday, a Kansas man was placed on probation for 36 months for causing a crash that killed an off-duty Wichita police officer and the officer's 10-year-old son, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.

In addition to other conditions of probation, James Dalrymple, 39, Valley Center, is to serve 120 hours of jail and complete 200 hours of community service. If he violates probation, he faces 112 months in prison.

In September, Dalrymple pleaded guilty to two counts of involuntary manslaughter while driving under the influence in the death of 37-year-old Stacey Woodson and his son, Braeden, in April 2018.

Prosecutors said Dalrymple pulled his pickup truck in front of Woodson's motorcycle at a Wichita intersection. Court records say Dalrymple had alcohol and drugs in his system at the time of the crash. Woodson was a 16-year veteran of the Wichita police force.
