 A plea deal for a man accused of driving drunk, crashing his car and leaving a passenger to die in northern Minnesota calls for no more than a year in jail. 41-year-old Thomas Quaylar of Grand Rapids pleaded guilty last week in Itasca County District Court in connection with the March 2017 crash near Hill City that killed the father of four, Michael Washburn. The Star Tribune says Quaylar's guilty pleaded criminal vehicular homicide also calls for 10 years of probation. He's due to be sentenced December 3rd. Authorities say that after the crash, Quaylar got a ride to McDonald's in Grand Rapids where he was arrested, prosecuted as alleged Quaylar's blood alcohol content was more than two times the legal limit to drive. His criminal history includes three other convictions for drunk and driving. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
