Former 3 Doors Down bassist set for DUI trial Monday
D’IBERVILLE, Miss.
Former 3 Doors Down bassist Todd Harrell is set to go to trial in D’Iberville on Monday on a charge of second-offense driving under the influence of a substance other than alcohol.
The 43-year-old Harrell is under house arrest in Nashville on a charge of vehicular homicide by intoxication.
The Sun Herald reports Municipal Judge Albert Fountain will presided over the trial.
Harrell was arrested on the second- offense DUI charge Feb. 18, 2014, after a caller reported a man slumped over the steering wheel of a sport utility vehicle. Harrell was in a family member’s SUV at 7 p.m. at an intersection and was visibly impaired, D’Iberville police said at the time.
