A Buchanan man who allegedly drove drunk and killed a Berrien County Road Department worker is going to trial.

It happened in July on Red Bull Trail, near Glendora Road.

Police say that when they arrived, they found the worker, 57-year-old William Isom lying on the road and 34-year-old Taylor Johnson, was walking around.

Johnson told police that he did not see Isom.

Leadership Publications reports that Johnson’s blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit.

Now, he is set to go to trial in early January.

He faces a maximum of 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
