A West Lafayette man who drove drunk and caused a crash that killed his passenger and close friend is scheduled to be sentenced today.Fri
Anthony L. Stout, 24, pleaded guilty last month to driving with a blood-alcohol content greater than 0.15 percent causing death.
The crash killed Jennifer A. Buckingham, 21, of West Lafayette.
Stout could face six to 20 years in prison when he is sentenced this morning by Judge Don Johnson in Tippecanoe Superior Court 1.
Stout was driving a 1997 GMC Jimmy north in the 2500 block of McCormick Road, just north of Lindberg Road, Nov. 6, when he lost control of the vehicle at an S-curve.
The SUV slid sideways into a utility pole, which broke off. The passenger side of the vehicle took the force of the impact, and Buckingham died at the scene.
