Montana man pleads guilty to felony DUI

Logan Brent Moore, 21, Thompson Falls, pled guilty last week to aggravated DUI, a felony. 

He also received misdemeanor charges of leaving the scene of an injury accident, possession of a controlled substance and possession of paraphernalia dismissed.

Moore admitted drinking, driving erratically, crashing his truck into a vehicle bound for the Mother's Day Moyie Mud Bog, injuring three young women and then fleeing the scene of the accident.

Moore was sentenced to a potential nine years in prison, and given credit for the 226 days he's already served in county jail, but his prison sentence was commuted and judgement withheld.

He will have the chance to serve six months at Cottonwood and, if he successfully passes that strict regimen to the satisfaction of his jailers and his judge, he can come back to the court and request parole.

If the judge has any reason to doubt, however, the sentence can be imposed in full.
