(EVANSVILLE) - An Evansville man sentenced last week to home detention after pleading guilty in a fatal crash is back in jail after failing a drug test.
The Vanderburgh County prosecutor's office says 29-year-old Connor Dant failed an initial drug screening in his electronic monitoring for home detention.
The Evansville Courier & Press reports Dant was sentenced last Thursday to two years of home detention after pleading guilty to striking and killing a pedestrian while driving drunk.
A judge allowed Dant to plead guilty to a lower level felony than he'd been originally charged in the February death of 58-year-old Darrell Asbridge.
But the judge warned Dant that he would have to serve his sentence in prison if he failed to completely follow the terms of his home detention.
