Aug. 16, 2014 — Cobb District Attorney Vic Reynolds announces that a Marietta man will spend five years in prison for the hit-and-run death of a bicyclist that occurred in April 2013.

Damon Thomas Latuch, 28, pleaded guilty Thursday morning to homicide by vehicle in the first degree.

Assistant District Attorney Marty First said the evidence would show that Mr. Latuch had been out drinking at a bar with friends in the hours before the fatal crash on April 10, 2013, that he had been told at two different times in those hours that he was too drunk to drive, and that he had refused to let someone else drive.

A man convicted of his seventh DWI was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday.

In May 2013, Burnet County officials say 46-year-old Terry Lynn Stevens was arrested for his seventh and last driving while intoxicated charge. He has a lengthy criminal record.

Queen Anne’s County State’s Attorney Lance Richardson and Queen Anne’s County Sheriff Gary Hofmann talk candidly about the Underage drinking problem in the County, the high cost of being caught providing alcohol to minors and how you can help reduce and prevent the problem.

Doemel said he does not remember the events leading up to the crash and claimed Thursday that he had not been drinking, but instead had lapsed into a diabetic coma the night of the crash.

Seifert said she did not buy the argument.

“You knew what your medical condition was and yet you still drove,” Seifert said.
