A man pleaded no contest on Tuesday to charges that he fell asleep at the wheel while driving home from work and crashed head-on into an SUV, killing a woman in southern York County.
Robert Yarnell, 71, of Chanceford Township, did not admit guilt but acknowledged that prosecutors had enough evidence to convict him of homicide by vehicle and driving on roadways laned for traffic. President Judge Maria Musti Cook will determine the sentence for the crime on June 8.

York County clerk of courts effectively cuts off free public access to criminal records
The move runs afoul of both the Pennsylvania and U.S. Constitutions and common law principles that require open courts, media law experts say.
York Daily Record
York County Clerk of Courts Dan Byrnes has effectively cut off the public’s ability to view criminal court records for free, a move that runs afoul of both the Pennsylvania and U.S. Constitutions and common law principles that require open courts.
In the past, there were two computers in the office, which is on the first floor of the York County Judicial Center. People could use them to look at documents the clerk no longer has paper files with a software called Laserfiche. The department removed them in recent years.

President Judge Maria Musti Cook ordered Kevin Nagle, 46, of McSherrystown, to immediately begin completing the remainder of his sentence of one year minus one day to two years minus two days in York County Prison. He had been free on supervised bail pending the outcome of his appeal, which the Pennsylvania Supreme Court refused to hear in December.
The York County District Attorney’s Office, she noted, had asked for a sentence of three to six years in prison. Cook said she gave significant thought to the factors that she’s required to consider at sentencing and did not believe that she had jurisdiction to modify the punishment.
