No plea deal in sight for man accused of drunken crash
Brandon Lee Vess, 31, appeared in Douglas County District Court for a conference ahead of a Feb. 3 trial after a history of missed dates. He faces three felonies for aggravated battery while DUI and misdemeanors for no proof of insurance and reckless driving from a November 4, 2022 crash into Big Mill restaurant in Lawrence, injuring three. His BAC was .16 and he allegedly drove 58 mph in a 30 mph zone on a rainy night. The only plea offer was to plead to all felonies, which he refused. He has two prior DUIs, and past citations for driving without registration and insurance.
