City councilman given a pass in DWI stop gets busted days later after head-on crash
A Tom Bean city councilman who was let go after a Saturday evening traffic stop in which he appeared to be intoxicated was involved in a head-on collision Thursday morning.
That city councilman, Benjamin Vincent, was arrested after the vehicle he was driving crashed into one driven by a Tom Bean ISD school official, according to both the Sherman Herald Democrat and Sherman TV station KXII.
Vincent was booked into the Grayson County Jail on a charge of intoxication assault with a vehicle causing serious bodily injury, a third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
The first incident Saturday involving Vincent got a Whitewright cop Andrew LeFevre fired. On Saturday, LeFevre saw a vehicle traveling into an oncoming lane of traffic near the intersection of Texas 11 and U.S. 69. Whitewright, which sits in both Fannin and Grayson counties, is 85 miles northeast of Fort Worth.
