FIANCEE LEFT AT ACCIDENT SCENE

Arizona man gets nine years for drunken driving death

A nine-year prison term was given Friday to a Bullhead City, Ariz., man who was held responsible for the death of his fiancee in a single vehicle traffic crash in October 2008.

Benjamin Bowers, 23, drove home while drunk after partying at a Laughlin casino lounge before crashing when he lost control of his speeding vehicle in Bullhead City.

At the time of the crash, just five days before Halloween, witnesses saw Bowers dressed as Spiderman as he ran from the scene, leaving behind critically injured Sheena Marie Nancy Debevec. The 22-year-old died of her injuries at a Las Vegas hospital eight hours later.

Bowers was arrested at his home a little more than a mile from the crash scene. He was convicted of manslaughter, extreme drunken driving and attempted leaving the scene of an accident involving death.
