Farrell Bowman, Involuntary Manslaughter, New Mexico 2015

Albuquerque, N.M. – A Tragic Crash Claims Two Lives

Farrell Bowman, a 29-year-old man from Fruitland, N.M., was sentenced to 74 months in prison for his involuntary manslaughter conviction. Bowman, an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation, was convicted of killing two Native American men with his vehicle when he crashed into their vehicle while driving under the influence of alcohol.

The crash occurred on July 3, 2014, in a location within the Navajo Indian Reservation in San Juan County, N.M. Bowman was subsequently indicted on the same charges on January 21, 2015.

On August 12, 2015, Bowman pled guilty to the indictment and admitted killing the two victims by driving recklessly while under the influence of alcohol. He acknowledged that he operated the vehicle without using due caution and with a reckless disregard that imperiled the lives of others.

This case was investigated by the Shiprock office of the Navajo Nation Division of Public Safety, the Farmington office of the FBI, and the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Raquel Ruiz-Velez prosecuted the case.

Bowman will be on supervised release for three years after completing his prison sentence. The case serves as a reminder of the devastating consequences of driving under the influence and the importance of road safety.
