A Georgetown man has pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol in connection with a car crash in Indianola that killed three people.
47 year old Anthony Austin on Monday pleaded guilty to one count of driving under the influence resulting in two or more deaths. In exchange, prosecutors dropped all other charges and agreed to limit their sentence recommendation to 20 years in prison.
Just after midnight on October 2, 2022, Austin was at the intersection of Catlin-Indianola Road and County Road 550 when he crossed into the opposite lane of traffic. Austin’s car slammed head-on into a car that contained three members of a family from Oxford Ind. Lee Hall, 52, his wife Felisha, 46, and daughter Madison, 18, all died in the crash.
Austin’s sentencing hearing has been scheduled for April 3. He will be required to serve 85% of the sentence imposed.
