A suspected drunk driver accused of killing two Tennessee parents on Christmas Day<\/a> may have to pay child support for their now orphaned children under a new state law. As of January 1, Tennessee became the first state in the U.S. to charge DUI drivers who cause a fatality child support for their victims\u2019 surviving children.<\/p>\n

On Christmas Day, Patricke Conley, 42, was arrested after he lost control of his vehicle after hitting a mailbox and swerved into the lane where Dustin and Brittany Dillard, both 33, were driving along with their three young children.<\/p>\n

Conley was charged with two counts of vehicular homicide and three counts of vehicular assault. According to an arrest report from the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office, alcohol was a factor in the crash<\/u><\/a>, with first responders noting “a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage” in Conley’s car and “numerous Bud Light beer cans” scattered throughout his vehicle.<\/p>\n

The couple was pronounced dead at the scene and their three sons were left seriously injured and orphaned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On January 1, Tennessee’s new Ethan\u2019s, Hailey\u2019s, and Bentley\u2019s Law modeled after legislation presented in Missouri went into effect. Under the law, a person convicted of vehicular homicide or aggravated vehicular homicide<\/a> due to intoxication will have to pay child support if the victim is the parent of a minor.<\/p>\n

The guilty person would have to pay until the child is 18 or graduates from high school.<\/p>\n

While Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed the bill into law last spring<\/a>, it did not start to take effect until the first of the new year.<\/p>\n

The bill was proposed by Cecilia Williams, whose son Cordell, 30, his fianc\u00e9e Lacey Newton, 25, and their four-month-old son Cordell II, were killed by a drunk driver. The crash left Cecilia’s two young grandson’s orphaned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lawmakers named the bill Ethan, Hailey, and Bentley’s Law after Cecilia’s grandson Bentley as well as the two children of Nicholas Galinger, a Tennessee police officer<\/a> who was killed by a drunk driver in a hit-and-run.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Allegedly, the drunk driver’s blood alcohol level was double the legal limit when he hit the Williams’ car, which went off the road and struck a tree before catching fire.<\/p>\n

Although the law will not benefit her and her grandsons personally she said she campaigned for its introduction to “help other people.”<\/p>\n

Tennessee is the first and only state to pass this law. Similar bills are being considered in multiple states, like Alabama, Illinois, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
