On November 4, 44-year-old Heath Krabill of Mount Pleasant was sentenced to prison for up to 10 years following a conviction in two separate criminal cases. 

On September 1, 2020, Krabill struck another car while driving on Highway 78 in rural Washington County. The accident left a 74-year-old woman, who was driving the other vehicle, with serious injuries. Krabill later assaulted the EMT that arrived on the scene. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office obtained a warrant to get a sample of Krabill’s blood, which showed opiates, amphetamines, and benzodiazepines in his system. He was charged with serious injury by vehicle, a class D felony, and assault on persons in certain occupations, a serious misdemeanor. 

In February of this year, Krabill was found with drugs and charged with possession of a controlled substance, third or subsequent offense, a class D felony. 

For causing serious injury by vehicle, Krabill was sentenced to prison for up to five years, and an additional five years for possession of a controlled substance, third or subsequent offense. He was also sentenced up to 1 year in prison for assaulting the EMT. The sentences will run consecutively.
