Man arrested for intoxication manslaughter in crash
Nicole Robinson, 37, was also arrested and charged with DWI. Police said she was not involved in the crash, but was following Gee in another vehicle.
Despite legal breath test, man charged with intoxication manslaughter
The officer on the scene said he could smell alcohol on Gee’s breath and felt Gee was intoxicated based on the results of the Standardized Field Sobriety Test. Even though the Portable Breathalyzer Test returned a .07 blood alcohol level result, below the .08 legal limit, the officer felt based on the totality of the circumstances there was enough probable cause to charge Gee with intoxication manslaughter.
