Anger Guilty Of Traffic Crash Death

July 15, 2011

An Escambia County man is facing up to 35 years in prison for a traffic crash death last year.

State Attorney Bill Eddins announced Friday morning that Andy Adrian Anger was found guilty by an Escambia County jury of leaving the scene of a crash involving death and driving on a suspended license resulting in death.

On September 28, 2010, Anger was driving on Sorrento Road when he lost control of his vehicle, flipping it several times, according to Eddins. Anger’s passenger, James Burtan McIlhatton, II, was ejected and died at the scene. Anger fled the scene into the woods. Witnesses testified that Anger had been in a bar in Perdido Key earlier that evening. He previously had been convicted three times for Driving Under the Influence and at the time of the accident his license were suspended.

Judge Paul Rasmussen scheduled sentencing for August 30. Anger faces up to 35 years in state prison.

The investigation and arrest were conducted by the Florida Highway Patrol.

    There are more judges and lawyers kids with multiple DUI’s than anyone I know. The judges and lawyers have had many themselves – theyre always at the country club drinking away.

    This is why DUI laws or punishment is so lenient.

    Just visit traffic court every now and then and see who has all the DUI’s. I dare you to.

    So why do you think the DUI laws are so lenient?

    Three prior convictions of DUI and it takes killing someoneto make something happen.

    Post the previous judges on the three prior convictions and let’s vote their liberal butts off the bench.

    Confusing last name. Had me thinking it happened because he was angry. I’m straight now.
