MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — A drunken driver who killed one of his passengers and injured another in a vehicle crash near Anderson Butte has been sentenced to nine months in jail.

Douglas Kent Anderson Jr. pleaded guilty Tuesday in Jackson County Circuit Court to assault, criminally negligent homicide and driving under the influence of alcohol.

The 21-year-old man’s license has been revoked for eight years, and he must pay restitution to the surviving passenger.

The three were attempting to flee from an altercation on July 4 when Anderson’s car struck a tree.
