For those drunk drivers who have been arrested and convicted of drunk driving once, they will generally learn their lesson and not put others’ lives at risk again by driving drunk. That does not stop, however, some people from getting behind the wheel after having far too many drinks. Jaffre will remain free on a $100,000 bond until he is sentenced in about three months by Westmoreland County Common Pleas Judge Meagan Bilik-DeFazio.Anyone who can drive in Louisiana knows that drunk driving is not only illegal, but that it is extremely dangerous. Prosecutors dismissed additional charges of homicide by vehicle, aggravated assault reckless endangerment and five summary traffic offenses. Jaffre pleaded guilty to felony counts of vehicular homicide while drunk, aggravated assault by vehicle and two drunken-driving charges.
Investigators claimed Jaffre smelled of alcohol and appeared drunk. Police said Jaffre admitted to having two beers about four hours before the crash. His wife was a passenger.Īccording to court records, Jaffre had a blood alcohol level of 0.14% following the crash, nearly twice the limit a motorist is considered to be intoxicated under Pennsylvania law. Firefighters extricated James Wardzek from his vehicle, and he was hospitalized for injuries suffered in the crash. Police said Jaffre was drunk when his 2008 Chevrolet Malibu sedan crossed the double yellow lines into the eastbound lane near Edna Road and struck the driver’s side of the vehicle driven by Wardzek’s husband. Jaffre, 55, was charged last year with vehicular homicide and other offenses in connection with the April 2, 2021, crash on Route 136 that resulted in the death of JoAnn Wardzek, 58, of Sewickley Township. An Arona man pleaded guilty Tuesday for his role in a fatal crash nearly two years ago in Hempfield that killed a woman and injured her husband in a two-vehicle collision.
