Big Spring Man Charged with DWI in Connection to Friend's Death

Big Spring, Texas - A 19-year-old man is now facing charges in connection with an incident last summer that killed his friend.

Jeffrey Ray Pierson has been charged with a misdemeanor DWI.

Last august, 18-year-old Michael Creel was riding in the bed of Pierson’s pickup when he somehow fell out and struck his head.

Creel's body was found hours later and Pierson was charged with intoxication manslaughter.

He was not indicted by a grand jury due to lack of evidence.

County Attorney Joshua Hamby will be handling the case.

According to officials this is his first offense and if convicted Pierson could face 180 days in jail and a $2,000 fine.
