Kurtis Belisle is Charged for Manslaughter, 11 Months Later

Thirty-two-year-old Kurtis Belisle has been arraigned on three counts of manslaughter by negligence for killing three female passengers who were inside his vehicle when it collided into a tree.  The charges come almost eleven months after the incident took place near mile ten on the Philip Goldson Highway that claimed the lives of twenty-seven-year-old Virginia Davis, seventeen-year-old Dorothy Davis, and seventeen-year-old Torrie Gentle.  Belisle was driving a Ford Ranger pickup when he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a tree.  Tonight, Belisle is out on bail after appearing before Magistrate Lois Young.  Bail was offered in the sum of five thousand dollars.
