charged Friday with causing a death while driving while intoxicated. No attorney
is listed for him in online court records.
The probable cause statement says he admitted to drinking and smoking
marijuana, but said he stopped hours before the death of 25-year-old Asher
Kimbrough.
Gerhard failed several field sobriety tests, although breath tests to measure
his blood-alcohol level measured below the state’s legal limit. Blood tests are
pending.
Gerhard told authorities that Kimbrough had been on the SUV’s roof for about a
mile before falling.
