Driver Found Guilty Again of Multiple Crimes

BEND, OR -- A Bend man was convicted by a jury, Friday, for Driving while Suspended, Driving Under the Influence and Providing False information to Police, two years ago. In October 2014, David Allen Black was pulled over for speeding, lied about his name, bragged about how his fast car and was observed to be impaired. 

 

The Deschutes County District Attorney says 32-year-old Black lost his license in 2004, when he was convicted of Manslaughter. His involvement in speed racing east of Bend resulted in the death of 16-year-old Stephanie Beeksma. In a statement issued after the verdict, D.A. John Hummel said, "It's unfortunate that David Black appears to have learned nothing from the tragedy that cost Stephanie Beeksma her life. Unless and until he grows up and appreciates the danger of impaired and reckless driving, me and my deputies stand ready to continue to hold him accountable for his dangerous actions."
 
Sentencing for this latest conviction is October 24.
