A 36-year-old Wind River Reservation man charged in a drunken-driving crash in Fort Washakie that killed his passenger has been sentenced to more than three years in prison. U.S. District Judge Clarence Brimmer sentenced Michael Terry Hill on Wednesday to 41 months in prison and ordered him to pay $3,837 in restitution for the July 5, 2011, crash that killed 34-year-old Ryan T. Burnett. Hill's prison term will be followed by two years of supervised release. Prosecutors say his blood alcohol level was 0.116% when he lost control of his vehicle, which rolled multiple times in a barrow ditch. Hill pleaded guilty May 4 to involuntary manslaughter as part of a deal with prosecutors.
