Drunk Driver Gets Prison for Fatal Crash

(Maricopa County, Arizona) A 23-year-old Mesa woman, Savannah Sutherland, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three and one-half years in prison for a 2006 drunken-driving crash that killed 36-year-old Genovena Tepec-Juarez.

For the conviction on manslaughter, criminal damage and driving while intoxicated charges, Sutherland will also serve five years of probation and complete 1,000 hours of community service..

Sutherland had a blood-alcohol level of 0.194 when recorded by police. Reportedly, Sutherland's vehicle rear-ended a motor scooter operated by Tepec-Juarez, causing the death.

Notably, Sutherland's parents founded the Cold Stone Creamery chain of ice cream stores. Heh. Maybe a civil suit for wrongful death?
