Man Faces Sentencing In Drunk Driving Death

 

FREDERICK, Md. (AP) -- A Frederick man faces up to five years in prison in the drunk-driving death of a friend.

 

Twenty-three-year-old Jose Izaguirre Calderon was scheduled for sentencing Monday in Frederick County Circuit Court.

 

He pleaded guilty June 1 to vehicular homicide. At the plea hearing, he acknowledged driving under the influence of alcohol when his Honda Civic veered off of Mount Tabor Road near Myersville in August.

 

Two passengers were thrown from the car. One of them, 42-year-old Roberto Monarca, was killed.

 

Izaguirre Calderon was on probation stemming from an earlier drunk-driving charge at the time of the crash.
