Vehicular Assault brings 4 year sentence to serve

A new case from the Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the sufficiency of evidence and sentence of four years to serve.

In State v Teaster, the driver's blood test indicated she had taken prescription medications that had impaired her ability to drive. They included valium and soma. The driver slammed into and caused serious injury to an 85 year old victim.
