Drunken driver gets 43 years for deadly crash
Crash killed Maryland mother, four children

updated 3:00 p.m. MT, Fri., June. 27, 2008

TOLEDO, Ohio - A Michigan man was sentenced to 43 years in prison Friday
for driving the wrong way on an interstate and slamming his pickup truck
into a minivan, killing a Maryland mother and four children who were
returning home from a Christmas trip.

Michael Gagnon of Adrian, Mich., had a blood-alcohol level more than twice
the legal limit and marijuana in his system, authorities said.

Lucas County Judge Linda Jennings called Gagnon a dangerous person. "You
have a drinking problem and you don't even know it," she said.
Gagnon, 24, had pleaded no contest to five counts of aggravated vehicular
homicide and two counts of aggravated vehicular assault.

Sounds like he had a fdrinking problem. At his age he could have
served time for an earlier offense and, perhaps didn't get the
treatment that e needed. If so, the state deserves some blame. I've
often thought that ssomething worth tryong would be to sentence tham
to constant anabuse. They can be bloodtested andyime0- day or noght -
and must wer an electronicbeeper so they can be tests at anytime. No
anabise in system - into the slammer.
This way, sober people and their family atre less likely to become a
burden on society.
Of course, the prison unions abd constructors would be unhappy.
