Got it. I assumed that was not one his DUI convictions.

I don't know how they can upgrade it after his plea. They can make him serve his suspended sentence, but can they change the conviction? I'd guess no, but I have no evidence to support that.

Oh man I just got the terrible news...a friend died early... -- Major Kong 12/28/2016 12:18PM

3RD DUI? I dont drink, so I dont understand the mindset, but Holy $HIT -- vt_mughal 12/28/2016 1:55PM

Just curious - if you don't drink, how can we take you seriously? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 12/28/2016 3:21PM

Who knows, maybe he *was* locked-up after 2nd DUI -- HWA 12/28/2016 2:28PM

He did have a DUI pleaded down to reckless in 2010 -- 48zip 12/28/2016 2:42PM

Just found this -- guessing the 2010 Reckless was 1st DUI charge -- HWA 12/28/2016 3:06PM

I thank he's had two prior convictions of DUI. That doesn't count the RD. ** -- 48zip 12/28/2016 3:14PM

DUI in 2011, 2014. RD was reduced in 2010. Should be his 4th -- RhinoVT 12/28/2016 3:20PM

Which jurisdiction? I only looked at Emporia. ** -- 48zip 12/28/2016 3:35PM

Greensville. ** -- RhinoVT 12/28/2016 3:45PM

Actually, the 2014 conviction was a DUI 1st. -- 48zip 12/28/2016 4:04PM

Deal reached. ** -- RhinoVT 12/28/2016 4:29PM

Not necessarily -- can depend on terms of Reckless plea -- HWA 12/28/2016 2:58PM

Got it. I assumed that was not one his DUI convictions. -- 48zip 12/28/2016 3:12PM

Graduated high school with Alonza -- Norville Rogers 12/28/2016 1:55PM

I know several folks who knew him and his kids. Very sad day -- RhinoVT 12/28/2016 1:58PM

Involuntary Manslaughter? Is that the law covering DUI deaths in Virginia? ** -- CPRVHokie 12/28/2016 1:06PM

Link -- RhinoVT 12/28/2016 1:15PM

So could be Aggravated Involuntary Manslaughter? -- CPRVHokie 12/28/2016 1:20PM

One day less than 20 will surprise me. ** -- RhinoVT 12/28/2016 1:51PM

Just an observation...that would make the driver the same age -- CPRVHokie 12/28/2016 2:32PM

Ugh! I understand someone getting one DUI... -- EDGEMAN 12/28/2016 12:41PM

3rd dui and multiple traffic offenses. lock him up throw away the key -- HokieJamie 12/28/2016 12:25PM

They will this time. Huge outrage as there should be. -- RhinoVT 12/28/2016 12:29PM

Very sad - as a volunteer EMT - happens more this time of the year -- Chantilly Hokie 12/28/2016 1:40PM
