A Georgetown man has been given a nine year prison sentence after pleading guilty to a deadly drunk driving accident. 47 year old Anthony Austin killed a family of three in the accident.
Austin admitted to drinking alcohol and getting behind the wheel the night of Oct. 1, 2022. Just after midnight, 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. 52 year old Lee Hall, his 46 year old wife Felisha, and 18 year old daughter Madison, all died in the crash.
Prosecutors had recommended a maximum of 20 years in prison.
