On July 14th a Yavapai County Grand Jury returned an indictment for manslaughter and two counts of misdemeanor DUI on 30 year old Prescott Valley resident Brad Allen Braudrick.
The charges stem from a crash that occurred back on March 14th at Lakeshore and Whipsaw in The Town of Prescott Valley. Braudrick was the driver of the vehicle in the crash that killed his passenger, 33 year old Joshua Lee Bristow of Prescott Valley.
Alcohol was suspected at the time and additional chemical tests needed to be performed to ascertain whether or not Braudrick was impaired by drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash.
Chemical analysis of his blood showed he was above the legal limit.
It is very important that citizens make good decisions when deciding to drive. Do not drink and drive. It is far better and safer to call for a ride if you have been drinking and are impaired at all. If you feel the effects of the alcohol at all, consider calling a friend or a cab. One bad decision can lead to a lifetime of regret, loss of life and freedom.
For more information on programs to curb drinking and driving you can contact your local police department or log on to the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety website at www.azgohs.gov. Please learn more about this problem and help to be part of the solution. Talk to your family and friends about this issue. Spread the word to help others make better and safer decisions related to highway safety. Remember, your family shares the roadway with thousands of other drivers. Are they making the right decisions?
