Stoltzfus had been charged with murder along with James Michael Romans. When Stoltzfus agreed to plead guilty to the lesser charge, prosecutors dropped the murder charge against Romans.
Boldin was found dead Feb. 14, 2018, in a vacant apartment in Huntsville.
Assistant District Attorney Paul Barnette said the victim and the two suspects were illegally living in the vacant apartment.
The prosecutor said the men had been drinking when an argument became physical.
Barnett said it’s unclear what prompted the fight.
