(The first story, posted in June, is below the update.)
Update:
A Worthington man arrested in June, accused of operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a blood-alcohol concentration over twice the legal limit, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, was sentenced, and turned himself in yesterday to the Greene County to serve his time.
Kevin Dean Parrish, 55, Worthington, signed a negotiated plea agreement and pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle while intoxicated in a manner that endangered a person, a Class A misdemeanor, when he appeared in court on August 8.
Two other counts including operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration equivalent to .15 or more, a Class A misdemeanor, and operating a vehicle while intoxicated, a Class C misdemeanor, were dismissed under the terms of the agreement.
Parrish was sentenced to 180 days in the county jail but the court suspended 174 days leaving 6 to serve. He was given credit for one day already served and he’ll be eligible to receive good time credit.
Parrish was not immediately remanded to custody – the judge said he should report to the jail by 6 p.m. on August 22. Parrish was booked in around 10 a.m. yesterday, Wednesday, August 22.
The judge specified that following his release, Parrish will be on probation for 359 days.

Kevin Parrish, June 2018
Kevin D. Parrish, 55, was southbound in a silver 2006 Honda Odyssey minivan on County Road 200 West near the White River Co-Op when he met northbound Officer James T. Harrington of the Worthington Police Department.
When Parrish did not dim his headlights, Harrington turned around and initiated a traffic stop at 2:22 a.m. on Saturday, June 9.
Harrington said he detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage and Parrish told him he had consumed three cans of beer at a friend’s house.
According to Harrington, Parrish was stumbling and failed field sobriety testing, then told the officer he had actually consumed a six pack.
The vehicle was towed and Parrish was transported to the Greene County Sheriff’s Department where he again failed field sobriety testing.
Parrish agreed to a chemical test, administered by GCSD Deputy Zachary Goad at 3:44 a.m. Harrington reported the test showed Parrish had a BAC of .186 which would be more than twice the legal limit of .08.
Parrish was then booked in to jail with a bond set at $4,000 surety with ten percent allowed. The next day, on Sunday, June 10, Parrish posted $400 cash and was released.
When Parrish appears at an initial hearing in Greene Superior Court later this month, he will be charged with:
Operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration equivalent to .15 or more, a Class A misdemeanor
Operating a vehicle while intoxicated endangering a person, a Class A misdemeanor
Operating a vehicle while intoxicated, a Class C misdemeanor
