Man Indicted For Criminally Negligent Homicide
A Smith County grand jury indicted a sheriff deputy’s son Thursday on charges of criminally negligent homicide and failure to stop and render aid after he left the scene of a December traffic accident in which a man died.
Jared Stinecipher, 25, the son of Smith County Sheriff’s Deputy Lt. Mark Stinecipher, was driving a 2000 Dodge Ram which allegedly collided with Arthur Dewayne Murphy, 50, who died from his injuries after the accident in December 2011, according to the DPS report. Murphy was driving eastbound in a 1992 Honda Accord and collided with a 2000 Dodge Ram at the intersection of Farm-to-Market Road 2767 and Farm-to-Market Road 757, the report stated.
The driver of the Ram left the scene and fled into the woods, touching off an hours-long manhunt, the DPS report stated. Murphy was transported to East Texas Medical Center, where he later died of injuries from the crash.
