04:44 PM CDT on Friday, October 24, 2008
A Hunt County jury found a Royse City man guilty of failure to stop and render aid for an accident that killed country singer Adrian “Buck” Jones last year.
Chaddrick Hunter, 37, also was found not guilty of manslaughter this week.
Mr. Hunter’s pickup struck Mr. Jones, 33, about 2:30 a.m. March 17, 2007, as he was walking along an Interstate 30 service road near Royse City. The singer’s vehicle had reportedly blown a tire and he was searching for a mile marker to call for help.
According to police reports, Mr. Hunter drove on to his parents’ home and returned to the scene of the accident later.
A punishment hearing was scheduled for Dec. 11. Mr. Hunter faces two to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000 for the third-degree felony.
