MANHATTAN –  A former Kansas State University student who drove drunk and killed two people in a head-on collision was resentenced on Monday.

Theurer was 23 on May 14, 2012, when he drove in the wrong lane through a construction zone along Kansas 18 while returning to Manhattan after a night at a Junction City strip club.

Authorities say Theurer’s vehicle collided with a car at 2:45 a.m., killing Elizabeth Young, 31, White City and Michael Stanley, 32, Ogden.

Theurer served 60 days in the county jail and has been under house arrest since pleading guilty in Riley County Court to two counts of Involuntary Manslaughter and DUI.

According to Court Services, Theurer received zero violations during his house arrest and gave 41 speeches about the accident as part of the original sentencing.

Judge Bosch sentenced Theurer to 41 months for each count of Involuntary Manslaughter and the DUI sentence to run concurrent with 36 months of post release supervision.

Theurer will be granted time off his sentence for time served at the county jail and time served under house arrest.

Theurer was also allowed self-surrender to authorities on Monday, September 5 at 9 a.m. He also has 14 days to appeal his sentence.
