Teen pleads guilty to being high for two straight weeks
Tyler R. Sutton, 18, pleaded guilty this morning in Tippecanoe Superior Court 2 to three counts of operating a vehicle with a controlled substance causing death and feticide, all Class C felonies.
If Judge Thomas Busch accepts Sutton’s plea with the Tippecanoe County prosecutor’s office, at least two of those counts would have to be served concurrently - meaning the former North Montgomery High School student could spend 16 or more years in prison.
Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 17. Deputy Prosecutor Elizabeth Goodrich requested that at least an hour be allotted so victims’families and law enforcement officers who responded to the Sept. 8, 2007, crash near Stockwell can testify.
Toxicology tests taken after the crash showed that Sutton had marijuana metabolites in his blood, though Sutton’s Indianapolis-based attorney, Dennis Zahn, disputed in court that the drug was present in the teen’s urine.
Yes, they are claiming that the pot he smoked over 2 weeks before his car accident was the reason for his car accident. This is just so ridiculous it’s crazy. Unless he has some of the best weed in the world, and was still high 2 weeks later, and if that’s the case, can I have some?
