LOGAN, Iowa (AP) — A fatal hit-and-run in west-central Iowa has ended with an Iowa man being sentenced to life in prison. The Des Moines Register reports that 29-year-old Kristofer Erlbacher, of Woodbine, was sentenced Monday to a mandatory life sentence after being convicted in December of first-degree murder in the 2020 killing of 30-year-old Caleb Solberg, of Moorhead. Investigators have said the men were eating and drinking at a Moorhead bar the night of Dec. 17, 2020, when Erlbacher put mayonnaise on Solberg’s food, leading to a fist fight. Prosecutor say Erlbacher left and later ran Solberg down with his truck outside a Pisgah café.
