A Troy man who pleaded guilty to DUI homicide in Lincoln County District Court last week may avoid time behind bars.
Terren Craig Winebark, 21, was charged with vehicular homicide while under the influence, or in the alternative, negligent homicide after a June 23 two-vehicle accident claimed the life of his friend, 21-year-old David Joshua Patterson. Patterson was a former Libby resident.
Winebark, who appeared with his attorney Sean Hinchey, pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide while under the influence on Oct. 30. During the hearing Hinchey alluded to the fact that Winebark and Patterson took turns behind the wheel on the night of the fatal accident, but that Winebark was driving during the crash.
