A Logan County woman was sentenced yesterday to eight years in prison for killing a teenager while driving drunk. 49-year-old Cathy Humphries pleaded guilty last month to running down 15-year-old Austin Houser as the teen walked along a rural road last October. Humphries says she kept driving because she thought she hit a mailbox. Her blood-alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit.
