His driver’s license will be suspended for three years.
McLaughlin will also be on parole for 18 months to three years once he is released from prison.
Earlier this month a jury found McLaughlin guilty of aggravated vehicular assault, OVI, vehicular assault and tampering with evidence charges.
Around 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 16, 2021, McLaughlin was driving a 1994 Ford Mustang on Troy Street in Dayton while speeding, according to a Dayton police crash report.
He lost control of the car near Woodsdale Road and hit a 2016 Ford Focus as it was trying to turn left onto Troy Street.
The Mustang went over the curb and hit an AT&T box for underground wires before crashing into a utility pole and tree. The Focus rolled twice before coming to a stop on Troy Street.
Medics transported the driver of the Focus, a 19-year-old woman, to Miami Valley Hospital for possible injuries. Her passenger, a 14-year-old boy, was taken to Dayton Children’s Hospital with serious injuries.
Medics also took McLaughlin to Miami Valley Hospital for minor injuries.
A blood test determined he had cannabinoids in his system, according to the crash report.
