Billings Man Pleads Guilty to Involuntary Manslaughter
Kyle Lee Fulmer, a 29-year-old resident of Colstrip, Montana, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in a federal court session in Billings.
The crime occurred on September 19, 2012, at approximately 2:30 a.m., when law enforcement received a call about a one-vehicle rollover crash on South Tongue River road, near Ashland, on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation.
Fulmer, who was driving a Chevy pickup, admitted to police that he had been drinking before the crash. His blood alcohol content (BAC) was .137, and beer cans and bottles were found near the truck.
The passenger, who was identified as an enrolled member of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, died of multiple acute blunt traumatic injuries to the upper body. Fulmer faces possible penalties of 8 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and 3 years supervised release.
The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Fulmer is currently released on special conditions and is set to be sentenced on September 11, 2013.
