Thompson’s DUI case linked to family tragedy and addiction
Thompson, facing a dozen charges including four impaired driving causing bodily harm, remains suspended on license. His niece Courtney Cummings recalls he was “lost” after the June death of his 18 year old son Joshua Lavallee in a 2010 crash. She describes him as an alcoholic whose recovery faltered after Josh’s death, though he could be kind and funny when sober.
