Guilty Plea in DUI Case Ties Death of Teen Whitney
Whitney Jeffcoat, who would be 19 this spring, died in a 2003 crash near Wagener as three teens traveled in a SUV. Driver Alexandria Jeffcoat pleaded guilty to reckless homicide in a case prosecutors say involved a blood alcohol level of .20. Jeffcoat received five years probation and one year of house arrest after a 10 year sentence was suspended, with mandatory Mothers Against Drunk Driving programs. Whitney’s family calls the outcome too lenient, urging harsher punishment.
