Prosecutors for the District reported that on March 11, 2020, Kenneth Lee Archer, 40, was adjudicated guilty and sentenced for one count of DUI Manslaughter after making an open plea to the court. Defendants have a right to forgo a jury trial and plea straight to the court for sentencing. It is not a negotiated plea.

Assistant State Attorney Martin Stark filed the DUI Manslaughter charge against Archer.

Judge Nick Thompson sentenced the defendant, who pled guilty, to 15 years in prison and revoked his driver’s license for life. He was also ordered to pay more than $7,000 in fines and court costs. Restitution was ordered and reserved. The defendant must also attend a DUI school, undergo a drug evaluation, and attend counseling.

On April 4, 2018, just after 2 a.m., Archer was driving on Pine Island Road, on the drawbridge that crosses the Caloosahatchee River. He crossed the centerline in the road and hit a car traveling in the opposite direction, sending the vehicle into a raised sidewalk.

The 35-year-old woman driving the car he hit died from her injuries in the crash.

His truck collided with an oncoming Kia Optima driven by Ashley Sullivan, 32.

She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Florida Highway Patrol investigated the scene and found the defendant had a blood alcohol content of .103, which is above the legal limit. Video evidence shows Archer had left a bar minutes before
the crash.

According to a preliminary report, a San Antonio Police officer spotted a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck driving erratically down Nacogdoches Road a little after 9 p.m. Tuesday. The officer activated his emergency lights and tried to pull over the driver, now identified as Jeanne-Nicole Coutros, 23. Reports said Coutros stopped abruptly in the left lane but soon took off as the officer was getting out of his patrol unit.

The SAPD officer then turned off his lights and notified the dispatcher as Coutros sped north on Nacogdoches, police said. Soon after, Coutros veered into oncoming traffic and crashed into a Lincoln SUV turning onto Friesenhahn Court. The 24-year-old driver of the Lincoln was Rheiner’s 24-year-old son. First responders took Rheiner and his son to San Antonio Military Medical Center, where the elder Rheiner passed away from his injuries.

Coutros was also taken to the hospital and is now facing intoxication manslaughter and evading arrest charges. Her bonds have been set at a combined $135,000.

The Converse Police Department issued a letter Wednesday afternoon in regards to the passing of Rheiner: 

The Converse Police Department is saddened to learn of the passing of retired Assistant Chief of Police Rodney “Rex” Rheiner. Assistant Chief Rheiner was a valued member of the Converse Police Department and the Converse community as a whole.

Assistant Chief Rheiner served the citizens of Converse for 27 years. Beginning his career in August 1989, he worked his way through the ranks and was promoted to Assistant Chief in May 2007. Assistant Chief Rheiner retired in March 2017.

Assistant Chief Rheiner was a highly regarded leader and he affected the department in many positive ways. Being a graduate of the FBI National Academy and The Bill Blackwood Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas, he was could always be found encouraging the officers, pushing them to better themselves and the department through training and education. He invested heavily in upgrading the equipment and technologies of the department and was key in the development of our police department facility and our first communications center.

Assistant Chief was known as a strong man of both faith and family. There would seldom be a time he would speak to you without talking about the accomplishments of his sons or showing you a photograph of his grandchildren.

The loss of any life is sad. The fact that Assistant Chief Rheiner dedicated his life to serving the community as a law enforcement officer only to be killed by a suspected drunk driver while in retirement is truly a tragedy.

Officer Magley advised his supervisor of the comments made by Ms. Piazza and more questions were asked in an attempt to gather more information. Piazza stated she her boyfriend had it and he was from NY but she would not provide any further information.

The proper notifications were made to all necessary personnel and all 3 officers exposed to Piazza were self-quarantined until advised otherwise.

Police say that a thorough investigation into Piazza’s comments was conducted and all pertinent people involved were spoken to including Piazza’s boyfriend and her comments were proven to be 100% false.

VIRGINIA: Ride with DUI Driver Tommy Williams, don’t put on a seatbelt, buy a ticket to your own funeral

Adults need to take responsibility for their own actions and a Virginia man who accepted a ride with a friend who was impaired didn’t bother with a seatbelt, was ejected when the vehicle went off the road at a high rate of speed.

A 2006 Toyota Camry was traveling west on Route 360 at a high rate of speed when it ran off the left side of the road. The driver over-corrected, which caused the car to run off the right side of the road, strike an embankment and overturn.

After further investigation, Trooper Buzzetta was able to confirm the driver of the vehicle was Tommy Marshall Williams, 38, of Danville, Va. Williams suffered minor injuries in the crash and was treated and released from Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital.

There were three passengers in the vehicle. One of the passengers, Sean Blake Jackson Thompson, 25, of South Hill, Va, was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle. He died at the scene. Two female passengers were flown to VCU Medical Center in Richmond for treatment of serious injuries.

After consultation with the Charlotte County Commonwealth’s Attorney, Trooper Buzzetta arrested Williams on Thursday (April 16, 2020) for one count of DUI-Manslaughter, 2 counts of DUI-Maiming and for one felony count of driving on a revoked license due to a prior DUI. He is being held without bond at the Charlotte County Jail.

Sean Blake Jackson Thompson
July 27, 1994- April 4, 2020

It was Saturday, April 4, 2020, when Jesus changed Sean’s permanent address from earth to heaven where he could be with those that had gone before. He went by way of car accident in the early hours that Saturday morning.

He will still remain in the hearts of the ones that shall always love him and be in the presence of God and many loved ones for eternity. Loved ones awaiting his arrival with open arms were his mama Beverly and his grandmother Connie and his brother and my son Charlie.

He leaves behind 2 sons, Dominic and Harold, his dad George L Thompson, sisters Amber, and Elizabeth; brothers, Chandler and Micah, grandmother “meme” Myrtle. In addition he has an uncle that he maintained continuous daily contact with that dearly loved him and Sean loved him, Jay Stilwell- his Uncle Chubby. Sean was loved by many and loved and valued his friends-many from the Danville area.

Please at noon Tuesday take a moment for prayer and remembering him and those he left behind. Also Tuesday, in his honor, hug your children often telling them how much you love them. Sean will return to Farrar Funeral Home for cremation. With the governor’s restrictions on assembling- there will be no service and that’s what he would have wanted.

Trooper Corey Adam Seriously Injured in Overnight Crash

GARY, Indiana. The Indiana State Police report that on April 29, 2020, at 12:00 a.m., Trooper Corey Adam was dispatched to a single-vehicle crash on I-80/94 westbound at the 7.3 mile-marker.  This is approximately ¼ mile east of Burr St.  Upon Trooper Adam’s arrival at the scene, he located a black Mercedes Benz that had struck the center median wall.  The vehicle had come to rest partially in the left and left-center lane. 

Police say that Trooper Adam parked his fully marked Dodge Charger with emergency lights activated, behind the crashed car to protect other motorists from striking it.  Two other Troopers, Trooper Dennis Griffin and Trooper Israel Rosillo, parked further behind Trooper Adam’s patrol car and blocked additional lanes with their emergency lights activated as well as approximately 15 flares in the roadway.  

As the Troopers were investigating the crash, Trooper Griffin observed a vehicle traveling west in the left-center lane at a high rate of speed.  Trooper Griffin attempted to yell at Trooper Adam to warn him of the oncoming vehicle. 

The vehicle, a 2004 Chevrolet SUV, struck Trooper Adam’s police car at a high rate of speed.  The impact caused the police car to strike the Mercedes as well as the median wall.  Trooper Rosillo was able to jump over the median barrier and avoid being struck by the police car.  Trooper Adam was positioned in the driver’s seat of his car at the time of the crash.  Troopers Griffin and Rosillo then ran to check on Trooper Adam and were able to extricate him from his car as it was leaking gasoline. 

Trooper Adam sustained serious injuries as a result of the crash and was transported to Northlake Hospital in Gary for treatment.  The driver of the Chevrolet, identified as Cameron D. Geweniger, 30, from Wheaton, Illinois, refused medical treatment.  A subsequent Operating While Intoxicated crash investigation was initiated as officers made observations that lead them to believe that the driver of the Chevrolet may have been impaired.  Geweniger refused field sobriety tests at the scene and also refused a certified chemical test for intoxication. 

Geweniger was transported to Northlake Hospital where a search warrant for a blood draw was requested through the Lake County Prosecutor’s Office and granted by a magistrate.  The results of that blood test are pending.

Geweniger was transported to the Lake County Jail and booked on the following preliminary charges: 

• Operating While Intoxicated Causing Serious Bodily Injury- Level 5 Felony
• Operating While Intoxicated Endangering- Class A Misdemeanor
• Operating While Intoxicated – Class C Misdemeanor
