Austin Summers Back in Custody | Boise News

Austin Summers, the man charged with vehicular manslaughter after killing his 7-year-old son in a deadly I-84 crash, is back behind bars — this time for a new misdemeanor charge of failing to stop after allegedly hitting a power pole. Just weeks after posting a $250K bond on the felony case, prosecutors say he fled the scene, while his lawyer claims he didn’t realize the damage was severe and planned to report it later. Alcohol found nearby? Defense says it belonged to a friend. With bail revoked and a driving ban looming if released, Summers’ lawyer has now withdrawn, leaving him scrambling for new counsel as he faces court on September 15 for the misdemeanor and again on September 24 for the life-altering felony charges tied to the speeding crash that shattered a family’s world.
