Shock probation denied in fatal DWI case

COLUMBUS — A state district judge Tuesday denied a 55-yearold man’s bid for early release after spending only five months of a 10-year sentence behind bars in a fatal drunk-driving accident.

James Lockett had filed a motion for “shock probation” after pleading guilty to a charge of intoxication manslaughter Feb. 7.

The Tuesday hearing took place before 25th state District Court Judge William D. Old III.
