CANFIELD — Columbiana County Recorder Theresa Bosel on Tuesday received a 30-day house arrest, a $150 fine and two-year driver’s license suspension on a conviction of a vehicular manslaughter misdemeanor in a 2019 Beaver Township crash that killed a California man, 69.

Judge Molly K. Johnson also told Bosel, 49, of state Route 154 in Lisbon, she must serve 120 hours of community service as well as pass a physical exam before being allowed behind the wheel again.

“A life was lost and no sentence will be able to compensate for that,” Judge Johnson said in pronouncing sentence. “My job is to call it like I see it.”

Bosel had last month pleaded no contest to the charge, which was part of a plea deal with prosecutors. Judge Johnson said she was adopting part of the plea deal agreement. The judge said she thought “long and hard” about giving Bosel a few days jail sentence.

“But out of concern for the COVID-19 pandemic, the defendant is to serve … 30 days on electronically monitored house arrest,” Johnson said.

The fatal accident occurred just after 11 a.m. Aug. 18, 2019, on Western Reserve Road. 

Bosel was driving on the two-lane road in Mahoning County when her Jeep Wrangler went left of center, striking a GMC Terrain and then the Ford Fusion driven by Cecil Chamberlain, 69, formerly of Salem who died from his injuries.

Chamberlain’s wife, Roberta, was treated for injuries at a local hospital.

Neither Bosel, the driver of the Terrain nor a passenger in the Terrain were injured.
