TAMPA - A Riverview man who ran over his neighbor's 3-year-old son in his pickup was sentenced today to 15 years in state prison followed by five years of probation, the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office said.

Pete Dreydoppel, 55, was found guilty in January of DUI-manslaughter and other charges in the death of Eddie Gould.

Eddie was killed Feb. 7, 2007, as he played outside with a toy truck in the Alafia Riverwood mobile home park, 6521 Riverview Drive.

Prosecutors showed Dreydoppel was impaired on a combination of marijuana and Xanax that prevented him from avoiding the boy.

Dreydoppel's lawyer argued the death was "a tragic accident."
