Lane Garrison, the actor from Prison Break who didn't get much notice until after he got arrested in real life, is in for some real publicity.
He's going to be charged with manslaughter.
The 26-year-old is expected to surrender this afternoon in connection with the car crash that killed a teenage passenger and injured two others. He'll be charged with felony gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated; driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs; and providing alcohol to a minor.
The charges could lead to a long prison sentence. And too bad for Lane, he's not famous enough to be a sure bet to beat the rap.
On December 2nd, Lane was driving around with a bunch of teenagers when his Land Rover jumped a curb and struck a tree, killing a 17-year-old boy from Beverly Hills High School and injuring two 15-year-old girls also in the vehicle.
Police say he had a blood-alcohol level of 0.20 percent, and cocaine in his system.
(Another bizarre sidebar to the story is Lane Garrison's childhood. As a troubled teen in Richardson Texas, he'd turned to his minister-- Jessica Simpson's father. Lane lived with Jessica and her family for a year.)

I really liked this guy on the show - of which my husband loves and has me watch with him - I hate it.
Anyway...very sad story indeed. I am sure somehow we can put the blame for this tragedy on Joe Simpson - that guy gives me the creeps.
