The criminal complaint claims Edmond told deputies he had been drinking vodka earlier in the day. Investigators say he lost control of his car heading around a curve and when he tried to get it back on the road he went across the centerline and slammed into an oncoming vehicle. Edmond’s car then went over an embankment.

A second passenger in the car, 17-year-old Eric Davis of Valley Bend was treated and released from a hospital.
