“Driving around with alcohol and cocaine in your system and getting into an accident is definitely bad.”
“Maybe, but what if that accident were to kill a guy who was driving around with alcohol and meth in his?”
“Nope, still bad. But thanks…I guess?
“You know what? I think I’m gonna try to avoid roads for a while.”
On Jan. 14, 2022, North Las Vegas police reported the two-car crash near Cheyenne Avenue and Civic Center Drive. Police said a car was making a U-Turn in a center lane, causing the front of another car, which Butler was driving, to collide with it. The driver and the passenger in the first car were both ejected from the vehicle, police said.
While a trauma paramedic was attending to Butler’s injuries, “a small baggie containing a white substance fell out of the left side of her bra,” police said. Police confirmed the substance was cocaine.
Nearly two weeks after the crash, blood tests confirmed Butler had cocaine and cannabinoids in her system. The blood draw also found Butler had an alcohol level of .102, which is above the legal limit.
The victim who died in the crash had a blood alcohol level more than three times above the legal limit. The person also had a substantial amount of methamphetamine in their system, police said.
Summer Butler, who was also doing 70 MPH in a 40 MPH zone, was sentenced to three years of probation as well as between 28 and 72 months in prison after pleading guilty to charges of reckless driving and driving under the influence. The jail time was suspended as long as she sticks to her conditions.
