Woman Accused of Providing Booze to Minors

(Kansas City, Missouri) A 46-year-old local woman, Sandra Triebel, has been accused of providing alcohol to a 16-year-old girl, Laura Beth Reynolds, who subsequently died in an automobile accident.

A 19-year-old, Kenneth Blake II, was also charged in the death.

Triebel faces charges of second-degree involuntary manslaughter, supplying liquor to a minor and a misdemeanor charge of allowing minors to drink alcohol inside of her residence.

Several partygoers, including Blake, left Triebel’s intoxicated, according to court records.

Reynolds was killed later that evening in a two-car crash at near U.S. 24 and Davis Road. Authorities said Blake was driving west in the eastbound lanes of U.S. 24 when his car struck an eastbound car carrying Reynolds and two other teens.

Authorities said Blake had a blood-alcohol level of at least 0.18, or more than twice the legal limit.

Details on booking and bond are not available.
