Homeless Camp Crash Suspect Sentenced

(Salem, OR) -- The man who killed four people when he drove through a homeless camp in Salem last year has been sentenced to more than 25 years in prison. Salem Police say Enrique Rodriguez, Jr. drove through a camp near Front Street Northeast and Highway 99. Last year, Rodriguez pleaded guilty to Manslaughter, Driving Under the Influence and other charges. Court records show his blood alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit. The judge called his actions "stupid and senseless." He said the 25 year sentence will give the victims justice and also send a message to the community about the dangers of drinking and driving.
