At the time of the crash, police determined that the 28-year-old was under the influence of alcohol.
On Jan. 17, he pled no contest to a felony DUI causing injury. On Feb. 28, he was sentenced to 5 years of felony probation and nearly a year of jail time. Additionally, he was ordered to pay restitution to the victims, take DUI classes, and wear a SCRAM bracelet, which is a device that tests the wearer’s sweat for alcohol every 30 minutes, for one year.
“The Woodland Police Department takes driving under the influence and DUI enforcement seriously. We hope this post encourages people to drink responsibly, plan ahead, and not get behind the wheel while intoxicated,” the agency said on Facebook.
