North Country man pleads guilty in fatal DWI crash

Friday, December 11th 2009

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:30:02 GMT — A 26-year-old St. Lawrence County man will spend time in state prison for killing another driver while driving drunk last March.

Robin Fowler of Harrisville pleaded guilty Wednesday to vehicular manslaughter and driving while intoxicated. The plea agreement calls for him to serve a prison sentence of less than the maximum seven years. He'll be sentenced on Jan. 19.

Fowler admitted that after a night of drinking at a Gouverneur bar he crossed into oncoming traffic the night of March 18 and struck a car driven by 18-year-old Jesse McEathron. Fowler's blood alcohol level was .24 percent, three times the legal limit.

His license was suspended in 2007 after a conviction on a driving while ability impaired charge.
