South Carolina man jailed 20 years in fatal Georgia chase
Carson Chandler Bolt, 36, of Greenville, S C, was sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to first degree homicide by vehicle and related charges in a fatal crash during a chase from sheriffs deputies. He struck Mattie Lou Hix, 70, and injured William Franklin Hix, 71, on U S 441. A plea deal dropped a felony murder count. Bolt will also face 10 years probation and a $10 000 fine.
