HILLSBORO — Court documents say an eastern Missouri man with multiple drunk driving convictions had a blood alcohol content that was nearly three times the legal limit when he caused a deadly crash.
Thirty-three-year-old Richard Nicely, of Cedar Hill, is charged with second-degree murder and driving while intoxicated in the November crash that killed 88-year-old Paul Scaglione and injured Scaglione's 87-year-old wife, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. No attorney is listed for him in online court records.
He also was charged last month with fleeing the scene of a Jefferson County crash that happened just minutes before he crossed into incoming traffic and collided with Scaglione's car.
Charges said that after the crashes, Nicely had a blood alcohol content of 0.23%, far exceeding the legal limit is .08%.
Nicely was on probation at the time for a 2019 felony DWI conviction, having been released from prison in July after serving 120 days. Court records show Nicely also has DWI and excessive blood-alcohol convictions in Jefferson County from 2017, 2013, 2007 and 2005.
