Sentenced to 5 years. Seems light but some justice (as deemed in by our current judicial system) will at least be served.


On June 21, 2025, police in Dublin reported Barton was driving the wrong way on U.S. Route 33 when he turned around to correct his direction and hit 24-year-old Perry’s car with his pickup truck.

In court, the prosecuting attorney said Barton was going 126 mph five seconds before the crash and 114 mph at impact.

Perry was pronounced dead at the scene. Barton sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Barton had a blood alcohol content of 0.17%, according to court documents. It was revealed in court that his BAC was 0.242%.

Perry's mother Roslyn provided a statement in court on her son's death.
"Because of your selfishness, I will never be a mother of a groom or a grandparent. Because of your selfishness, he doesn't call me in the morning anymore," she said.

:sad:

what was he charged with and what did he plead guilty to?

Barton pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated vehicular homicide in Franklin County Common Pleas Court on Wednesday. As part of a plea deal, prosecutors dropped three additional charges, including a second count of aggravated vehicular homicide and two counts of operating a vehicle while impaired. The presiding judge also ordered that Barton’s driver’s license be permanently suspended.

Court records show Barton had prior traffic violations, including an OVI charge in 2010 that was dismissed and a 2017 OVI that was reduced to reckless operation. The latter resulted in a fine and a 180-day license suspension.
