Interview With The Brazos County Prosecutor In A DWI Case Where One Pedestrian Died And A Second Was Severely Injured

October 2024 marks three years since two visitors from Florida were struck by a vehicle while crossing Texas Avenue north of University at two in the morning. One of the visitors died and the other sustained severe injuries. While the driver was arrested for intoxication assault causing serious bodily injury, he was indicted for DWI with a child in the vehicle. And on Tuesday (August 13), 45 year old Jay Griffin III of Bryan pleaded guilty to that felony and to violating probation for a prior conviction of possessing a controlled substance. In a plea agreement with the Brazos County district attorney’s office, Griffin received a two year prison sentence. The prosecutor in that case, assistant district attorney Kevin Capps says there was no evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that intoxication manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide took place. Capps says Griffin’s blood alcohol level three hours after hitting the pedestrians was just over the legal limit at point .090. And the prosecutor said Bryan police estimated the speed of Griffin’s vehicle was between 34 and 53 miles per hour in the 40 mile per hour zone.
