Episode Details

A 35-year-old man, Douglas Leroy Lewis II, faces 1.5 to 5 years in prison plus 4 years probation after a drunk driving crash in April 2025 that left a 7-year-old girl with thigh and eye socket fractures and an 8-year-old with serious injuries — his own 3-year-old son was in the car but unharmed. Lewis admitted to aggravated assault, endangering children, and reckless endangerment. His lawyer called it a “lapse in judgment,” citing a relatively low BAC, while troopers found vodka in his car. The other driver said she had no chance to avoid the collision. Lewis apologized to victims, but the judge’s sentence sends a stark warning: impaired driving with children at risk carries severe consequences.
