A 58-year-old Hattiesburg woman has been sentenced to twelve years in prison for leaving the scene of a 2010 accident that caused the death of a Moss Point man. Forrest County Circuit Court Judge Bob Helfrich sentenced Victoria J. Lumpert on Monday. Lumpert pleaded guilty to one count of felony leaving the scene of an accident on July 13. Forty-seven-year-old Lawrence John Brun was pronounced dead Oct. 21, 2010. He was struck while walking by a vehicle that later fled the scene. Lumpert was arrested later that week.
