Source: Wrong-Way Driver Accepts Plea Deal
Posted/updated on: August 27, 2015 at 2:57 pmHENDERSON — A source close to the case says Shelby Taylor, who is charged with three counts of intoxication manslaughter, has accepted a plea deal. According to KETK, the source says Taylor, 23, of Henderson, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to eight years in prison for each charge. The sentences are to run concurrently, so she will not serve more than eight years, according to the source. Taylor had previously entered a not guilty plea and was being held in the Rusk County Jail on $750,000 bond. The suspect had been out on bond since July of last year, until she was re-arrested earlier this month for failing to pay bonds. Taylor is accused of killing three people in a July 2014 accident near Kilgore. The wreck took the lives of a 43-year-old woman and her two children, ages 5 and 12, all from Caldwell, Texas.
