Columbus Man Pleads Guilty To Reduced Charge In Fatal Crash

A Columbus man is awaiting sentencing for a misdemeanor charge after a revised autopsy cleared him of causing a fatal crash.  Timothy Castle has pleaded guilty to OVI after prosecutors dropped vehicular homicide charges.  Castle was accused of killing Debbie Meadows in a 2014 crash, but her autopsy was changed to show she died of cancer and not of injuries sustained in the wreck.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
