Powder Springs Woman Charged for Serving Alcohol to Minor Killed in Car Accident

Serving alcohol to minors can lead to serious consequences in the state of Georgia, especially if it results in car accidents caused by driving under the influence (drunk driving).  Investigations following the tragic death of 16-year-old Harrison High School student Garrett Reed have led to the implemenation of those consequences for a Powder Springs woman, according to the 11 Alive website.  The online article reports that Kecia Whitfield, 43, has been arrested for serving alcoholic beverages to the teenager during a party at her home on January 25, 2009, the date of Reed's fatal car crash.  According to authorities, Garrett Reed's accident occurred soon after he left the party, and Cobb County police were holding Whitfield on a $10,000.00 bond at the time of the report.  If you are considering hosting a party and serving alcohol, make sure that no minors are served.  You could be held liable if they become involved in a DUI accident, and, even worse, you may see them injured or killed as a result of your actions.  Drunk driving accidents are serious matters.  If you or a loved one has been injured in a drunk driving accident and has questions for an experienced DUI accident attorney, please feel free to call us.  We will answer your questions regarding liability, your rights, and other important issues for free.  770-577-3020.
