Mom who bought beer for party gets house arrest
By Associated PressKLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (AP) — A Klamath County woman who bought 180 cans of beer for an underage party will spend the same number of days under house arrest after pleading guilty to criminally negligent homicide in the death of a teenager killed in a car crash. Roberta Tamcke was also sentenced this week to three years probation, and the 33-year-old must also undergo alcohol treatment and work to educate others about the dangers of alcohol. Tamcke bought the beer for a party she did not attend. But a teen who did go, 18-year-old Emilio Alfaro, struck a telephone pole while driving drunk shortly after leaving Feb. 28. It's believed to be the first time in Oregon that an adult has pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide because of such circumstances. Copyright 2009 The Associated Press.
