A man from Fort Worth has now been sentenced to 8 years in jail after a drunk driving crash occurred in 1998 and left one person dead.

According to court documents, the man’s case is the first time that a new law in Texas is being used. This law states that charges can be enhanced if a person was charged with intoxication manslaughter and not a DWI.

In 1998, the man, who was then age 20, plead guilty to intoxication manslaughter and he was done with his probation in 2009. In this case one person was killed and two others injured.

In 2010, he struck four cars while driving and when the police pulled him over, his blood alcohol was at .20. Prosecutors stated that society would be better if the man was behind bars.
