Judge sends man to prison By Tim Colliver - tcolliver@aimmediamidwest.com A Texas man entered a plea of guilty to a third-degree felony charge of aggravated vehicular homicide Monday in Highland County Common Pleas Court. Daniel Martinez, 31, Crystal City, Texas received a 30-month prison sentence from Judge Rocky Coss and in so doing, court documents said that a second count of aggravated vehicular assault, a fourth-degree felony, was dismissed. His guilty plea, conviction and sentencing was in connection with an incident described in the July 2020 indictment from a Highland County grand jury. The indictment said that on Nov. 1, 2019, while “operating or participating in the operation of a motor vehicle,” described as a Chevrolet Impala, Martinez caused the death of Cody Spencer recklessly.
