Robert Bryant, 50, of Haverhill was ordered by a Salem Superior Court judge this week to undergo randomly scheduled alcohol screenings while he is free on $10,000 bail, according to The Eagle Tribune. Bryant allegedly struck and killed Cynthia Ray, 30, of Haverhill outside the Andover State Police Barracks on December 12 last year while he was under the influence of alcohol. Bryant then attempted to leave the scene of the fatal accident after hitting Ray with his pickup truck but was followed by a witness, with police following close behind. Ray had stopped by the barracks to pick up a police report for a car accident that her husband had been involved in earlier that same day.
Bryant currently faces charges of motor vehicle homicide while driving drunk, manslaughter, fleeing the scene of a personal injury accident that resulted in death and attempt to commit a crime. He could be sentenced to 15 years for the motor vehicle homicide charge if he’s convicted and 20 years for the manslaughter charge. Following the deadly pedestrian accident, Bryant’s license was automatically suspended for 6 months because he refused to submit to a Breathalyzer test. Bryant has also been ordered not to consume alcohol while on bail, in addition to completing the random alcohol tests.
Bryant is due back in court May 31 for a pre-trial hearing.
