Man who knocked woman into swamp jailed

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- The man responsible for a crash that left an 83-year-old woman trapped above a swamp for three days was sentenced to four years in prison for violating his probation.

Scott Andrew Campbell, 24, had been sentenced to five years of probation after his car rammed a car driven by Tillie Tooter in August 2000. The car fell off a bridge and into a tangle of trees that held Tooter suspended above a swamp for three days. She survived on a cough drop, a peppermint, chewing gum and rainwater.

Campbell was arrested Dec. 28 in Miami-Dade County for allegedly driving erratically. He was jailed as he awaited the hearing on whether the arrest constituted a probation violation.

Broward Circuit Judge Paul Backman ruled Campbell did violate his probation by leaving Broward County and being charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. Campbell, who was joined in the courtroom by his pregnant wife, wept as he asked for another chance, saying he was "really sorry."
