Man sentenced for Lancaster County street racing death

LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — A Chester County man was sentenced for his role in a high-speed street race that killed a Manheim Township man in 2023.

According to the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office, Judge Thomas Sponaugle sentenced Brandon Gentile to an aggregate sentence of nine years to include time served in custody awaiting trial, additional prison time and consecutive probation with restrictive conditions.

Gentile will spend the first two days of his probation in Lancaster County Prison, according to the DA’s office. He will then serve 12 months of house arrest followed by up to two months of intensive supervision for homicide by vehicle, consecutive, and 321 to 729 days in custody for carrying a firearm without a license.

In May, Gentile pleaded guilty to homicide by vehicle, firearms not to be carried without a license, four counts of recklessly endangering another person, two counts of driving under the influence and other offenses.

The charges stem from the death of 22-year-old Thomas Hartenstine of Manor Township.

Gentile initially denied racing, but PennDOT cameras showed the two racing throughout the county as fast as 140 mph, the DA’s office said.

The DA’s office said police seized a loaded handgun, a THC vape pen, alprazolam pills, and other drug paraphernalia from Gentile’s car.
