From Times-Tribune

01/24/2017 – A Carbondale man who drunkenly drove the wrong way for more than four miles on the interstate before crashing and killing another man pleaded guilty to three charges Monday.

Adam David Kovaleski, 32, appeared before Judge Margaret Bisignani Moyle clean-shaven and wearing a shirt and tie. Prosecutors had charged him with a long list of crimes, but agreed to drop several in exchange for his guilty plea to felony vehicular homicide while DUI, misdemeanor DUI and driving the wrong way, a summary offense.

Per state law, the vehicular homicide while DUI conviction comes with a mandatory minimum of three years in prison, Judge Moyle told him.

19 drivers were arrested for DWI at the scene of yet another DUI fatality after the Super Bowl  see Video

LAS VEGAS (KSNV News3LV) —  News 3 is learning new details into a deadly crash that took the life of a 16-year-old Shadow Ridge High School student on his way to school.

Law enforcement sources say right before the crash that took the life of Jaelan Fajardo, 47-year-old David Fensch was drinking at Bally’s Casino.

Fensch admits to police he drank four glasses of rum and also was on Xanax. It’s a drug used to treat anxiety. After the crash, sources say Fensch smelled of alcohol and slurred his speech.

Sandy Heverly with STOP DUI is upset over the deadly crash, “We are curious to know why he ever had access to that vehicle. How did that come about? He shouldn’t have been near one much less behind the wheel.”

Heverly is well aware of the previous DUI’s Fensch was charged with.

Court records show Fensch was charged two times with DUI in Michigan and two times here in Clark County.

District Attorney Steve Wolfson was also upset over the crash. Wolfson said, “His conduct is unacceptable, but I blame in part this community. Whatever we are doing isn’t working to get the message out that it is unacceptable behavior driving under the influence.”

Bryce Chapman sentenced to 5 years in prison for DUI homicide 2nd offense 110316

From KATC

A Lafayette man convicted of driving drunk and killing a woman in a 2015 crash was sentenced Thursday to serve five years hard labor.

Bryce Chapman, 25, was handed a 12-year sentence, with all but five of those years suspended, on a count of vehicular homicide in the death of 66-year-old Carol Ann Richard. He was also sentenced to serve six months each on three counts of vehicular negligent injuring — to be served concurrent and concurrent with his vehicular homicide sentence — as the crash involved a third car with three people inside.

Chapman pleaded guilty to the crimes in July, and he’s been held in the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center since.

During an emotional court hearing, 15th Judicial District Judge David Smith heard testimony from seven of Richard’s close friends and family members who, through tears, described the late, longtime Lafayette Parish School System employee as a beloved woman, artist and giving soul. The woman who drove the third car in the accident also testified, and she’s requesting restitution be paid to cover medical bills for her and her two passengers.

Chapman’s parents also took the stand. They testified that their son had maintained sobriety since the crash and described him as a caring brother to his special needs sister. Chapman also took the stand and apologized to those affected by his crimes.   MORE

The investigation by Trooper Kyle Stovall, began on January 24, 2017, when troopers responded to a head-on collision on Sparta Pike near County Road 350 in Moores Hill, Indiana.  The crash investigation by Trooper Andrew Garrett determined that a red 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan, being driven by Rocky McMurray, age 47, Aurora, Indiana was traveling eastbound on Sparta Pike and drove left of center into the path of a 2005 Dodge Neon being driven by Steven Ahaus, age 48, Moores Hill, Indiana.  Ahaus died as a result of the collision.

The criminal investigation by Trooper Stovall determined that McMurray was believed to be intoxicated at the time of the crash.  He tested over twice the legal limit on a preliminary breath test at the scene.  McMurray also submitted to a blood test while he was hospitalized after the crash.  Those results are still pending.

The investigation was turned over to the Dearborn County Prosecutor’s Office which ultimately led to a warrant being issued for McMurray’s arrest on charges of Reckless Homicide, Operating While Intoxicated-Causing Death, and Operating While Intoxicated While Endangering a Person.  Trooper Garrett and Trooper Travis Linville located McMurray at his residence and arrested him on the charges.

He was incarcerated in the Dearborn County Jail pending his initial court appearance.

 

McMurray made his initial appearance in Dearborn Superior Court II on Monday. Deputy prosecutor Andrew Krumwied told Judge Sally Blankenship that McMurray has a 2005 conviction for manslaughter in Kentucky in relation to another wreck he caused which claimed another man’s life.
