Actor Lane Garrison earned fame as David "Tweener" Apolskis, an inmate in the fictional Fox River State Penitentiary, on the Fox drama Prison Break.
It looks as though the actor is going back to prison, but this time he won't be pretending.
Garrison, 26, pleaded guilty today to vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence charges stemming from a fatal car crash in December, reports Reuters. The wreck killed a 17-year-old Vahagn Setian and injured two 15-year-old girls who were passengers in the car.
The actor allegedly met the teenagers at a store and was taking them to a party when he crashed into a tree. Garrison's blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit and prosecutors say he was also high on cocaine.
Garrison faces a maximum sentence of six years and eight months in prison. He is due back in court for sentencing in early August.
Prison Break enters its third season this fall. Garrison's character was killed off last October. Garrison most recently was seen in the movie Shooter.
ohhhhhhh god put he should be more responsible
He will receive probation.
Oh, he feels terrible and he regrets it. Well that's whole different story. That totally makes up for picking up underage kids and driving them while coked up and drunk. So what if his idiotic behavior resulted in the death of a kid. As long as he feels terrible and he regrets it, everything's okay then.
Although he is famous, i like the way people are not claiming for a shorter sentence, this is good, too many people would want him to get special treatment. I am a firm believer that if you claim guilty straight away this should definitely have a significant affect on the sentence you are given, although i feel for the family he obvioulsy feels TERRIBLE about it and i sincerly doubt he will do anything of the sort again. This sentance seems fine.
So many msgs about longer sentence ! wtf is wrong with u ppl , he pleded guilty and he aint jumping around smilineg , he regrets wtf he did ! trust me , he feels a lot worse about wut he done than the fact he'll go to jail ;)
He will get what he deserves...though six years doesn't seem long enough for killing someone!!! you've gotta feel for the 17 year olds family.
I'm sorry for what happend! Even if I like him, 6 years it's too little for killing someone under cocaine influience and alchool!
bummer for him
Just as some others have stated, I find it rather disturbing that Garrison was fraternizing with teenagers. Gives new meaning to jailbait I guess.
after reading this i cannot believe that he was 2 times over the limit and was high on crack, when i met him he seamed like a really nice guy that was not in to getting drunk and taking drugs. he seamed that he was so grateful for what he has and for what he had achieved. Matt
Thats just not right if any normal person did that same exact thing then they would get the max sentence... I think he should too there's no reason why he shouldn't, Just because he's a star doesn't mean he can do things illegal and get away with it...
I hope he gets put in a cell with some dude just like "Avocado" from PB. What a friggin' idiot.
Good on him
So what if the girls was too young (after US law), they still need to prove that he was hitting on them and maybe the story would have said something about that, if that was the case.I really can't understand US laws when it comes to age depending laws, but i sure do like the amount of years the criminals get! It's proberly twice or even more than they get in my country.
Gonna have to pull of a real prison break sucsk to be him. Dont get stuck in the same cell as a huge guy.
god bless him.
he should have had a much larger charge.
tututut
He must pay for driving under the influence charges.He is not a good example for young boys who watched them on TV show
Yeah, it was a boy who was killed. Apparently the two girls Lane was trying to get it on with invited a male friend in case the drunk ass actor got out of control. It's sad because the poor kid was the only one doing a good thing. Lane was stupid enough to hit on underage girls while the girls were just using Lane to get into a party. The boy was only there to look after the two girls.
Ironic, now he's going to prison for real. I doubt he's gonna find himself a michael scofield in there though.
no prison break for him I hope...
viva, american culture.
Yeah i commend him for confessing
they should make a bigger deal about the underage girls.hope he gets the max.
At least he admitted to it.
This is a difficult lesson to learn, especially when someone dies in your lesson. Hopefully after Garrison gets out he will live with higher standards.
Real prison time, he would be pretty scared
not interesting there's underage girls in the car, more interesting that he's most likely a pedophile
I heard it was a boy too!!
Yeah I heard it was a boy too.
Instersting that he had a bunch of underaged girls in his car
Wasn't it a 17-y.o. BOY who was killed?
