ALBANY, NY – District Attorney P. David Soares announced today that JON ALLIN GUILBAULT, 36, of 217 Gardener Road, East Nassau, NY has entered a plea guilty to of Manslaughter in the Second Degree a Class “C” Felony and Operating a Motor Vehicle Under the Influence of Alcohol as a Misdemeanor.   
 
GUILBAULT admitted that on or about March 23rd, 2006 at approximately 11 PM on State Route 9W in the Town of Bethlehem, he caused the death of Stacey A. Teidman. GUILBAULT admitted speeding and driving in an imprudent manner while attempting to elude police and while he was intoxicated.  Mr. GUILBAULT’s actions caused his vehicle to leave the roadway, to strike two utility poles, thereby causing the death of his passenger, Stacey Teidman. 
 
Stacey Teidman, 44, of West Sand Lake, was a friend and co-worker of the defendant; she left behind a husband and a son.
 
“This death, like so many other alcohol-related deaths, was as tragic as it was senseless,” said District Attorney Soares.  “Tragic because we have parents losing a child, a husband losing a partner, and a son losing a mother.  This was senseless, because there is access to taxis, busses, and cell phones, JON ALLIN GUILBAULT did not have to drive”. DA Soares said.
 
Sentencing will be October 31, 2006.  GUILBAULT faces up to 3-9 years in state prison  
 
This case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney, Mary Tanner-Richter, who heads Felony DWI within the Major Crimes Unit.
