The Cleveland Daily Banner reports that 20-year-old Jeremy Mulkey was sentenced on Friday for vandalizing the Cleveland Municipal Airport and for throwing the fan onto the interstate in November 2010.
Twenty-year-old Casey Thomas entered a plea agreement earlier and was also sentenced to four years.
A third defendant, 21-year-old Barry William Burbank, faces a hearing in July.
A bus driver suffered minor injuries when the motor crashed through the bus windshield while Lee University students were aboard.
