BROOKSVILLE — The generosity of a victim's family will spare a Bushnell man from a lengthy prison sentence.
Rickey Scroggins Jr., 23, drove drunk, ran a red light and collided with a freight truck in 2007, killing passenger Andrew "Andy" Cuthbertson, a newly engaged Army private who had arrived home on leave just a day before.
Scroggins pleaded no contest Thursday to DUI manslaughter and four related charges.
Circuit Judge Stephen Rushing delayed sentencing Scroggins until Sept. 12 so Cuthbertson's relatives could attend. As part of the plea deal, Scroggins will receive three years in prison followed by two years of house arrest and five years of probation.
