A an 18 year old Barnesville man was sentenced to four years in prison for a crash that killed a man while he was mowing his lawn on May 3, 2010.
The (then 17 year old) driver had been speeding and driving erratically. Though the crash occurred a few days before his 18th birthday, making him technically a juvenile, he was tried as an adult.
He was charged with criminal vehicular homicide while under the influence of a hazardous substance, a charge which he plead guilty to in January.
Blood tests taken at the scene confirmed that the driver had been huffing aerosol cleaning products prior to the crash.
