Driver pleads guilty to manslaughter in relation to death of MMA fighter Jordan Parsons

Last week, Dennis Michael Wright, 30, plead guilty to DUI manslaughter, leaving the scene of a crash involving death, and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence in connection to the 2016 hit-and-run killing of MMA fighter Jordan Parsons. Wright, who had been under house arrest until his bond was revoked this April, plead guilty as part of a plea deal.

My Palm Beach Post reports that Wright’s deal with prosecutors in Palm Beach County, FL means he will receive a 10 year prison sentence if he, “tells the truth about his alcohol consumption and actions on April 30/31, including the speed he was driving when he struck and killed (Parsons) and his actions from the time he struck (Parsons) until the time he turned himself in.
