LOS ANGELES — Lane Garrison, who was serving a sentence of three years and four months for a drunken driving crash, has been released from prison.
The former "Prison Break" actor was paroled and picked up early Wednesday from the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, Calif., Lt. Jon Bartelmie said.
Garrison was charged after a December 2006 crash in which he rammed his Land Rover into a tree, killing Vahagn Setian, 17, and injuring two other teenage girls.
He later pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter and misdemeanor counts of drunken driving and giving alcohol to a minor.
Garrison was sentenced in October 2007 to serve three years and four months in prison. He was also ordered to serve four years' parole and to pay about $300,000 in restitution to the victims and their families.
The actor met the girls at a grocery store and accompanied them to a party. At the time of the crash, he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.20 percent, more than twice the legal limit for driving, and was under the influence of cocaine, according to police.
A civil lawsuit filed by Setian's family and Michelle Ohana, one of the girls injured in the crash, was recently dismissed at the request of the parties.
