Country music singer Caleb Kennedy was sentenced Monday to prison for his role in a 2022 DUI crash that left one man dead.
Taste of Country reports Kennedy spend the next two years and three months in prison.
The former “American Idol” star actually got 25 years in prison and a $25,100 fine for the crash, which left Larry Duane Parris, 54, dead.
The sentence, according to Taste of Country, was suspended to eight years and the fine was lowered to $15,100. Three years will be served in home detention, per the report. Kennedy also is receiving credit for two years and nine months served.
In February, Kennedy was arrested in Spartanburg, South Carolina on felony driving-under-the-influence charges back after he crashed into a workshop. Parris, who was in the shop, died from the injuries he sustained in the crash.
Taste of Country reported that Kennedy’s toxicology report showed traces of THC and Prozac, which he had a prescription for.
