A driver who hit an older couple in a parking lot before continuing to run errands was sentenced to six months in jail today. 

The incident was pretty shocking when it happened back in November.

Rodney Allen Snider pleaded guilty to a list of charges for hitting a couple in a Walmart parking lot in Lyon Township.

In security footage, you can see the couple, 74 and 82 years old, walking with their cart of groceries when Snider hits them with a pick-up truck.

Witnesses on scene said Snider continued to drive through the parking lot, park his car, and go inside the store to shop. Turns out he had a suspended license and was not allowed to drive.

The couple was not injured.
