Police said a drunk driver killed an Indiana man trying to get home on Christmas Eve.
The victim, 82-year-old Dean Shepherd, had just left his job as a Walmart greeter. He was walking when an oncoming car crashed into him off State Highway 56 in Washington County.
On Wednesday, police decided to bring charges against the driver involved in the crash, and many people in the community are left remembering Shepherd.
From behind the doors of the store, he made all the difference simply by saying hello.
“He was always happy and had a big smile on his face,” said neighbor Jerry McKnight.
“The driver that caused the crash was traveling east and went completely left of center and hit Mr. Shepherd head on,” said Washington County Sheriff Claude Combs.
Police believe that driver, Gilbert Mullis from Bloomington, was not only speeding, but drunk.
