(KLZA)-- A Nebraska City man has been sentenced in Nemaha County, District Court, to a period of 6 – 10 years in prison on a charge of manslaughter.
53-year-old Monty Eaton was sentenced Monday. In February of 2018, Eaton was northbound on Highway 75, north of Auburn when he turned his SUV into a car that was attempting to pass him, causing the death of 26-year-old Travis Ries. The prosecution said Eaton as under the influence of alcohol when the collision occurred.
Ries was a passenger in a car driven by Heather Spurlin of Pawnee City.
District Judge Julie Smith also sentenced Eaton to consecutive 45 day periods of no driving following his release. Eaton must also apply for an ignition interlock permit once his drivers license is reinstated.
Eaton will also pay court costs of nearly $3-thousand.
