Missouri Teacher facing Manslaughter charge

(AP) – A southwest Missouri agriculture teacher faces criminal charges in a deadly crash.court

Thirty-two-year-old Chad Bybee of Rogersville entered not guilty pleas when he was arraigned Monday in Webster County on charges of involuntary manslaughter and second-degree assault. Bybee  is jailed on a $100,000 bond.

Authorities said his blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit after Friday night’s wrong-way accident on U.S. 60 killed 84-year-old William H. Hughes of Seymour. The Missouri State Highway Patrol says Bybee’s 6- and 8-year-old daughters were in their father’s car at the time of the accident and were taken to a Springfield hospital for treatment.

Logan-Rogersville Superintendent Jeremy Tucker says no action had been taken by the district because it’s deferring to the legal system.
