Ex-Mass. Maritime cadet from RI avoids jail for hitting 3 people
FALMOUTH, Mass. (AP) - A former Massachusetts Maritime Academy cadet accused of being drunk when he struck two fellow cadets and a third person with his car has avoided jail.
Max Yerger of Westerly, R.I., pleaded guilty Thursday to charges including leaving the scene of personal injury accident and operating under the influence of alcohol.
The Cape Cod Times (http://bit.ly/WaWH4I ) reports he was given a six-month jail term suspended for five years of probation.
Prosecutors say the 22-year-old Yerger had four beers and two shots in four hours when he left the Port O' Call pub at about 1 a.m. May 18 and struck two cadets and a 31-year-old woman.
Yerger had a blood alcohol content of 0.18 percent, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent.
He was dismissed from the academy.
