Sartain pleads guilty to motorcycle deaths
Donnie William Sartain, 50, of Tishomingo, was set to go to trial in late October when he accepted a plea deal from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Instead of going to trial, Sartian agreed to change his plea on the lesser charges of involuntary manslaughter.
Donnie William Sartain is charged in the deaths of Pauline Demers, 56, and Gerard Nault, 56, of Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada.
Court documents say Sartain was impaired when he was driving his pickup on the Natchez Trace Parkway near mile marker 289 around 4:15 Wednesday afternoon.
The truck crossed the center line and collided head-on with a motorcycle with Demers and Nault on board. The two died at the scene of the accident.
