A Mapleton man has been placed on supervised probation for three years in the death of his passenger while being drunk when he crashed his utility terrain vehicle.
According to court documents, 53 year old Lance Eric Leiferman was also sentenced Tuesday to serve one day in the Blue Earth County Jail and is convicted of a felony. Court documents say successful completion of the probation will reduce the felony to a misdemeanor.
