Prison Break actor Lane Garrison had cocaine and more than twice the legal blood alcohol level in his system after a fatal car crash last month and should be charged with felony vehicular manslaughter, police said Wednesday.It will be interesting to see how Lane's case unfolds and Brandy's deadly car wreck case as well. Are celebrities finally being treated like common folk where they're actually convicted and punished for their crimes?
Garrison, 26, was involved in an accident that killed a 17-year-old male passenger. Two 15-year-old girls, who were also in the car, were both injured – one critically.
Beverly Hills police turned over the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, but no decision has been made about whether Garrison will be prosecuted.
"We're reviewing it now," says DA spokeswoman Jane Robison.
At a press conference Wednesday, Beverly Hills police said Garrison's blood alcohol level was .20 percent – more than two times California's .08 percent limit. He also had an undisclosed amount of cocaine his system, according to a blood test.
Police recommended that he be charged with gross vehicular manslaughter with an enhancement for causing injury or death to more than one victim. Police also recommended he be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
If convicted of the most serious charge – gross vehicular manslaughter – he faces 10 years in state prison. The other charges would add additional years to the term.
On Dec. 2, Garrison, who plays "Tweener" on the FOX jailhouse drama, was driving his Land Rover SUV with three teen-aged passengers when the vehicle struck a tree at 11:52 p.m.
Lane's gonna be someone's hot bitch in jail. And Brandy must be shittin' bricks right now too.
