CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — Sgt. Evan Bunnell doesn’t remember the crash.

He does remember getting into his pickup, after drinking about a dozen beers at different bars last summer, Bunnell told a military judge during his Feb. 26 court-martial at Camp Lejeune, N.C. Members of his command told Bunnell later that he hit a car carrying two Marines that night, June 22.

One of the men, Lance Cpl. Bradlee Wilber, was killed.

Bunnell pleaded guilty to drunken driving and involuntary manslaughter. The judge, Maj. Glen Hines, sentenced the sergeant to six years in the brig, forfeiture of all pay and allowances during that time, and a bad conduct discharge.

Bunnell, assigned to Weapons Training Battalion, had been drinking since noon. When he got behind the wheel about 3 a.m., he did not turn on the truck’s headlights.
