BAY CITY, MI A Kentucky man has been ordered to pay fines for having THC in his system when a vehicle he was driving crashed and killed his teenage passenger on the Fourth of July. He avoided a stiffer penalty as investigators found the substance did not contribute to the collision.
Joseph H. Cozart Jr., 26, on Tuesday, Jan. 26, appeared via Zoom before Bay County District Judge Timothy J. Kelly for sentencing. Cozart in December pleaded no contest to one count of operating a motor vehicle with the presence of a controlled substance-marijuana. In exchange, the prosecution agreed to dismiss a charge of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated.
