CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - A 30-year-old Ethete woman has been sentenced to 2 ½ years in prison for the death of a 50-year-old man in a drunken driving crash last summer on the Wind River Indian Reservation.
KTWO-AM reports (bit.ly/2l4OxSX) Rita Mae Willow was sentenced Wednesday for involuntary manslaughter by U.S. District Judge Scott Skavdahl, who also ordered her to pay just over $2,100 in restitution.
Willow was charged after a July 18 crash near Ethete that killed her passenger, Allison Tyrone Trosper Sr. He suffered a skull fracture when he was thrown from Willow’s truck in the rollover crash.
Prosecutors say a test after the crash indicated Willow’s blood alcohol level was 0.24 percent - three times the legal limit for driving in Wyoming.
