The family of Gallon were hoping the charges to Beros were be more severe.

“I am disgusted I can’t imagine that is all you can be responsible for after knowingly leaving somebody on the road,” Julie Welsh, Gallon’s ex-wife, said.

Beros made his first court appearance on Friday morning.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to raise $8,000 to bring Gallon’s body back to his hometown of Cambridge, Ontario so he can be buried.
