They're accused of providing alcohol to a sweet 16 party that ended in tragedy. Now warrants have been issued for their arrest.

Bryan Police and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission have wrapped up their investigations into the August 3 accident that left three teens dead.

Thursday warrants were issued for 21-year-old Carroll Wayne Dicky Jr. and 21-year-old Jimmy Louis Noey Jr., of Leon County.

Police say the sweet 16 party the teens were at before they crashed, was attended by fewer than 12 people, and that the only party goers over 21, were Dicky and Noey.

Just two-and-a-half hours before three teens would die; just two-and-a-half hours before residents in the Park Meadows subdivision called police about racing vehicles, Bryan Police say Carroll Wayne Dicky Jr. was buying wine coolers for Tiffany Benavides.

The two would later attend a sweet 16 party in Park Meadows.

Tiffany's brothers Gus and Dillon Benavides were also there. As was Alex Dicky, Wayne Dicky Jr.'s younger sister.

By 3:30 Sunday morning on August 3, Alex and the Benavides brothers would be dead.

Police say it was lethal combination of a high speed wreck, and alcohol.

Alcohol police say was in part supplied by Jimmy Louis Noey Jr.

Investigators say the 21-year-old took a keg to the party.

Both Noey and Dicky have been charged with making alcohol available to minors.

Dicky is already behind bars. He was arrested at his sister's funeral for failing to appear in court, and multiple instances of driving with out a license.

"He'll obviously have to make bond on it in addition to any other charges that he has, before he can get out," said Assistant Chief Curtis Darby.

As for Noey, "his attorney has promised that he will turn himself in tomorrow," said Darby.

Police say their investigation is over, and there will be no other charges.

"I don't think the criminal charges is what will bother them. I think its living every day with what happened," said Darby.

Making alcohol available to minors is a class A misdemeanor.

If found guilty, the men could each be fined up to $4,000, and spend up to a year in jail.

We told you last week that the driver, Dillon had a .12 blood alcohol content. Passenger Alex Dicky had a .08. Dillon's brother Gus was the other passenger in the car... his blood alcohol content wasn't available.

Now there you go Sn. Now im asking you to read what i said and tell me what part of what i said stated no one can post on here. Or if any part of that said something about posting. What are you people stuck on stupid.Comprehension.As long as anonymous understood thats all that matters.
Posted by: Kay Location: Hearne on Sep 8, 2008 at 02:49 PM
First of all I would love to know why these 21 year old men were hanging out at a "sweet 16 party", but that's beside the point. The parents truly can't be blamed. They may have known where there kids were, doesn't mean they knew exactly what they were doing. This is very tragic, and the children who drove drunk paid the ULTIMATE price. And no one understands completely how horrific the consequences can be unless you have had a loved one die from a drunk driving accident. Just because your parents raise you right, doesn't mean you will not make bad choices in life. The men that supplied the alcohol should pay the price for supplying it, but they truly are not responsible for the actual deaths. That was purely the ultimate consequence of driving under the influence.

To Someone Who Knows Better...I agree with everything you say. But Sr. is visiting Jr in jail at least once a week. As would only be right.
Posted by: Mona Location: CS on Sep 8, 2008 at 12:26 PM
I agree with anonymous at 10:58 AM. Prisons are full of people who's parents thought they could do no wrong. There won't be more charges filed, Bryan or COllege Station can't just start interpreting the law how they see fit, they have to go by judicial history, case law and legislative orders.

Yeah the two boys should not have provided the alcohol...but no one made them drink it. These parents are in denial...It is the teens fault.Yes it is sad but this stuff happens everday and these three teens were an extreme case of what can happen. But NO ONE MADE them drink it!!! quit blaming everyone else!! Instead of blaming others...check to see what your kid did last friday night!!!Im sure beer was involved!!!

To Sept7@5:54: Where exactly did you get your information? He is NOT in the Brazos Co. Jail nor has he been since Aug 8. And, to all of you all who are trashing the parents of Wayne, Jr., do you know the relationship between father and son? Jr. and his sister grew up in a very close and loving family. Sometime it doesn't matter how well they are raised, they make bad decisions again and again, no matter what the parents do to correct it. It doesn't make Wayne Sr. and his wife bad parents it just proves sometimes bad apples do fall from good trees. Sr. does not have contact w/ Jr. at all. He is 21 and has made his own bed to lay in. All of you parents who say your kids will never do anything wrong or they never know when you will show up where they are, I hope you are right, but I wonder why you have to show up where they are. Kids who feel too much pressure from parents will also skirt the rules to see what they can get away with just like the ones who don't have any rules at all!

"That kept saying the man didnt even have a desk when whether him having a desk or not was not the issue." You're right; the issue is whether his RACE justifies his freaking out and probably planning to sue his employer any time he sees a rope with a slip knot (as opposed to a true multilooop noose) used to secure a load of lumber...
Posted by: jif Location: carlos on Sep 7, 2008 at 01:49 PM
To questions, you are almost right. He didn't turn himself in when he had the warrants, he didn't turn himself in when the car crashed. He did turn himself in befor the funeral,because he knew he had to. Befor the funeral he got stopped driving again and due to the circumstances was let go with a warning. Did he shape up?No he kept driving, even had the nerve to drive to his sisters funeral. He won't learn. I feel sorry for the families.

BECKY, these are open forums, anyone has the right to comment on any story here, so whats the problem? I agree with Anonymous on Sep 6, 2008 at 04:54 AM---This story has nothing to do with race, and some were trying to make race a issue...
Posted by: Responding to Becky on Sep 7, 2008 at 09:28 AM
Becky, no I am a different person than who commented on the other website,...I still say that race has nothing to do with this,
Posted by: becky Location: bryan on Sep 6, 2008 at 10:01 PM
Listen to anonymous say dont play the race card THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.i hope this isnt the same person from the noose comment site. That kept saying the man didnt even have a desk when whether him having a desk or not was not the issue.
Posted by: questions Location: college station on Sep 6, 2008 at 09:56 PM
If some one think that the guy who killed his sister has learned his lesson. I want to know why did they arrest him at the funeral instead of him turning himself in when it happened.It takes a few days to plan a funeral so why didnt he turn himself in if he has learned his lesson. Was he trying to get away with it as long as possible. I'm just glad that one of my children wasnt on the street when they were driving.How can any one have sympathy on people that drink and drive. Every body that can read and hear should of read or heard about all the warnings of drinking and driving. They knew better. They wasnt mentally challenged were they. When you hear and read warnings of drinking and driving then that should be enough.After that then if you dont take heed dont expect someone to have sympathy on you.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 6, 2008 at 09:33 PM
No one told them to drink. No one forced them to drink. Yet they did. Come on people, you know noone can make a person do anything unless they feel as if their life was in jeopardy. Yes, I feel sorry for all involved. Sorry, because young lives were taken. In reality, people always have to blame someone else for what happens. These kids new better. They had did it before, and this time didn't work like before. Sad.
Posted by: Because on Sep 6, 2008 at 07:54 PM
" but the police could of had more respect than to arrest at the funeral. They know he wasn;'t going anywhere..." He was going SOMEWHERE behind the wheel with a suspended license, and the officers would have been fired if he had caused ANOTHER accident before they could have found the "right place and time" to arrest him with your approval. And as far as finding him to do so, what part of "FAILURE TO APPEAR" and his own father claiming "I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS" do you have problems understanding?
Posted by: HMMMMMMM on Sep 6, 2008 at 06:19 PM
LW yes I am saying the DA's office CAN bring other charges. I have no idea if the WILL. It is however a comon practice.
Posted by: WHY? Location: Bryan on Sep 6, 2008 at 03:59 PM
Kids will be kids no matter how much you teach them. The parents in this situation should not be blamed by society. They did not do anything wrong. The children made the mistakes that have cost them their lives. The guys on trial will have to live with this burden along with the other family members the rest of their lives. Thou should not be casting stones, but praying that GOD will strenghten and pull these families through. I understand the police had to arrest one guy, but the police could of had more respect than to arrest at the funeral. They know he wasn;'t going anywhere. I suggest all of us put on the shoes of each person in this case. Feel the hurt and pain that is involved. The anger you feel will change if you really look down into your heart. No one should want lives to be taken one way or another. This could of been you or your family.
Posted by: LW Location: CS on Sep 6, 2008 at 03:31 PM
Hmmmm--understood--however, the reports issued said that no other charges will be filed and the investigation is over...are you saying the DA's office will/can now take it upon itself to file other criminal charges?
Posted by: HMMMMM Location: Bryan on Sep 6, 2008 at 01:34 PM
Listen up people. Yes the only charge against these ADULTS is "providing alchohal to a minor" but NO that is not the only thing they can be charged with. You see these where children. If the misdemeanor act resulted in harm to them.Then they CAN be charged "endangering the welfare of a child". If you are drinking and driving you get a DWI. If you hit and kill a person while drinking and driving you get charged with "manslaughter". These adults set into motions actions that caused the death of another.

STOP PLAYING THE RACE CARD! This is a tragic story that has NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE! These 2 families have been thru enough! Stop it! Leave these families in peace!
Posted by: Outraged N Location: Bryan on Sep 6, 2008 at 02:38 AM
How in the name of all that is holy have you people turned this tragedy into a racial issue???? All of you who keep bringing up race are just dumb. Alex and the boys knew they had been drinking, the alcohol was not just slipped into there lemonade without their knowledge. Yes they should not have been given alcohol by the older bro and friend but give me a break; if a kid wants alcohol or drugs, they are going to get it, if big bro makes the run or if its another older friend. Obviously some of you have issues with Wayne Sr but to say such terrible things at such an emotional time for his family is heartless. I pray that each of you who are casting your stones have boarded up your windows!
Posted by: Chris on Sep 5, 2008 at 11:34 PM
This is ridiculous. Y'all have turned this into a race issue?! Gimme a break. These two guys are jerks if they are truly guilty of providing these kids alcohol but the law is the law and it says that providing alcohol is a misd. charge. They can't just suddenly charge them with something else, because that would not be following the law. This kind of thing goes on a hundred times a day (esp. in a college town). The only reason y'all are all up in arms is because these 3 kids died. No one forced them to drink, no one forced them to get into the car, no one forced them to race and go out of control. Yes alcohol was a factor but so was their choice to drink. These other guys may have contributed but they aren't 100% at fault.

You listen up anonymous at 4:53,,,you can't even compare the two cases. You need to leave the Boone's out of this. You don't know the situation behind what happened. Do you know for sure that the mom usually dropped off the child at daycare? Do you know it was the mother that put the child in the car? You can't possibly image what that family is going through!!! To even bring up that family and tie it to this one is insane. Stay off the computer if you do NOT know what the heck you are talking about. You must be NON WHITE to be making these statements....loser!!

Lot of shady things being reported or not reported from the get go on this accident. A report comes in for cars racing in park meadow. Was dicky driving the other car who was racing the rx7 ? If so then I expect him to be charged under this law. RACING Prior to September 1, 2003, "racing" was a Class C misdemeanor, regardless of the circumstances and punishable by fine only. Now, the seriousness of a given "racing" offense is determined as follows: Second degree felony- if an individual suffers serious bodily injury or death as a result of the offense.

in response to anonymous at 12:52. The party happened at the girls home while her mother was out of town. No one "let" her have a party, she did that herself. She is responsible.
Posted by: Not race Location: iola on Sep 5, 2008 at 07:22 PM
If anyone thinks this is a race issue is smoking crack. If a drug dealer sells someone crack and they overdose the drug dealer does not get charged with murder now does he? If that were the case than we would have a shortage of drug dealers-which wouldn't be a bad thing. So everyone write the law makers and maybe we can change the laws. Then the guy at Gander Mountain who sold the gun to the nut that shot someone could be charged with murder. Yea right, it must be a race thing.

to DLBC: yes, I am a parent of teenagers. But the difference is that I am actually raising my kids. They don't run around at all hours of the night. AND THEY DON'T DRINK. Yes, there are actually teens that don't succumb to peer pressure. I am a good role model and it shows in my children. And what's so wrong with accountability? Oh, I guess it's easier to blame everyone else but your own self?
Posted by: Anonymous Location: bryan on Sep 5, 2008 at 05:12 PM
to the 10:57 poster last night in all caps. You say you are a reformed drug dealer and got 10 years for dealing. That was the allowable sentence for that crime. You wouldn't be charged if the idiot you sold to overdosed. The boys crime was giving alcohol to minors. What they then did with it (ie drink,drive) was their crime. Unfortunately it's only a misdemeaner. Write the legistlature if you want a change in the punishment laws. People the police have to follow the guidelines when someone gets charged. That's all they could be charged with. I'm sure if there were more charges they could of made on them, they would of done that.

Most of you act like you and your family are perfect! Your judgmental attitude and your off the wall opinions are almost comical. You have no idea, you really do NOT have a clue. Just a few questions, did someone see Wayne Sr. bail Wayne Jr. out of jail, at any time? NOT!! Did someone force Alex and the boys to drink? NOT!! Does anyone remember that Wayne Jr. was moved to another facility, he is not in the jail in which his dad is the administrator, therefore how can you say favoritism was given? Do you all think your kids are so perfect that this same thing could not happen to them? It is not a perfect world folks, we do not live in glass houses, quit judging the parents and let them grieve. Go ahead and bash me too, I know it's coming, but the truth is....this could happen to anyone, even you. It's ok to give your opinions and thoughts, but be sure you know what you are talking about first!
Posted by: To Roy on Sep 5, 2008 at 03:16 PM
Yeah it's the white mans fault, god forbid he continue to go work everyday to keep paying for my welfare and for me and my homies to keep it real and drink 4-0's. Lets bring the troops back to American to help us with Operation Bring Down Whitey. Oh what fun it would be if all the white folks just left the country, life would be so much better if all those crackers just got out of here.....Dear Roy, You just don't know how lucky you are my friend. I bet you're one of those people who whenever something doesn't go your way, you cry racism. Keep believeing that white people are here to supress you and you will find its much like rocking in a chair...it gives you something to do, but gets you no where. Keep it up.

Roy...come on...seriously? If they were white or hispanic they would get the same thing. There is nothing and I repeat NOTHING racial about this story. I'm sorry you feel so threatened by the white folks that you have to shelter yourself under the 'if it was a black man' clause. Dude get a hobby and paranoia meds! Anyways back to the REAL story...I'm still lacking the facts about where her mother was. I heard she was out of the country but please tell me a mom doesn't leave a 15 year old girl by herself? Also I asked before, was Wayne behind them when they wrecked? Is this factual?
Posted by: Cynthia on Sep 5, 2008 at 01:34 PM
No, Rick, he isn't "sitting in a jail that his father runs". He is in another county. Maybe you should read the Sheriff's interview in the Eagle so you can get your facts straight. And no, his father couldn't turn him in because he didn't know where he was! They had no communication. I would make sure I get my facts straight before I posted something that made me seem IGNORANT.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 5, 2008 at 01:30 PM
Again the legislature makes the laws. True this is not the first time this has happened and unfortunately will probably not be the last. And another thing, he is not sitting in his daddy's jail, he is in Grimes County. If you read the eagle it gets in to that a little better. I am sure the investigation is not totally over yet.

I used to hate that you couldn't buy alcohol until you were 21 and now that I am older and have kids of my own I wish they would just raise the age higher! Apparently 21 year olds still don't have the smarts about alcohol and what it does! Ridiculous!
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 5, 2008 at 12:52 PM
If these kids had a sweet sixteen party where were the parents at when the achocal was at the house the only ones to blame here is the mother and father that allowed them to have the achocal. THERE THE ONES THAT SHOULD BE IN JAIL FOR ALLOWING THE ACHOCAL AND THE 21 YAER OLD MEN THERE. THIS IS WERE THE STATE SHOULD COME IN AND OPEN THERE EYES . BUT THEY WANT TO GIVE THE BOOK TO THE TO YOUNG MEN WHEN REALLY ITS THE MOTHER AND FATHER SHOULD BE IN THE JAIL FOR 10 YEARS FOR ALLOWING THIS TO GO ON AT THERE HOME AND I KNOW THAT THE FATHER IS WORKING FOR THE STATE SHOULD BE NO LONGER AND EMPLOYEE THERE THE PARENTS R THE BLAME AND SHOULD STEP UP AND TAKE THE BLAME FOR WHAT HAS HAPPEN THANK YOU

To Rick @ 9:42AM.... Inform yourself sir Jr in not sitting in Brazos Co. Jail, um-k? For you to imply that you know how this young man is feeling after all that has happened is outrageous and you sir, should be ashamed. To Everyone Else: this is a horribly tragic event that has ocurred. Children died and others present should have not been so negligent with their siblings (or anyone else for that matter) lives, but what is done is done; we cannot bring those babies back. RICK @ 9:42AM, I imagine that Wayne Jr is suffering a great deal, I'm certain. The law is what the law is, Misd. A Class is a year in jail, slap the wrist, fine, maybe even probation and no jail time. If you folks aren't happy with the laws of this great state, maybe you should write to someone who can actually do something about ie: congress; better yet GWB, he's got a few months left in office. Maybe, just maybe he could do some good for Texas before leaving office.

Wayne Dickey Jr is not in the Brazos County jail. He was moved to a jail out of our county because of his father being jail administrator.
Posted by: READ please on Sep 5, 2008 at 12:03 PM
Hey, roy: "Wayne Dicky Jr. was buying wine coolers for Tiffany Benavides" (Gus and Dillon's sister) so NO ONE here is without blame. And Rick: if you'll read the Eagle article, you'll see that Wayne is NOT in the jail run by his father. He is in a jail in another county for just that reason. Please remember these three teens (i was a friend of one of them) CHOSE to drink and drive. PERIOD!!

Ebony Stewart only has a 1Million bond. However, look at her history. She has been in jail a dozen or so times...has she not learned her lesson. Also, drugs are more serious than serving alcohol to minor. Those 21 year olds served them alcohol, they didn't make them drive. They are being punished for what the law says. Unfortunately, there is no liability for the person that served the minors. I think those boys...or at least Dickey will be haunted by this for the rest of his life.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Bryan on Sep 5, 2008 at 11:48 AM
Oh come on Roy race has nothing to do with it. Where did the oldest Benavides boy get his alcohol from before and why was the parents not looking for the kids when they didn't come home at midnight.
Posted by: Amy W. on Sep 5, 2008 at 11:38 AM
Roy there I agree with one thing you said! I think these kids that contributed to these minors death should have to do more then a year for sure. But nothing is set in stone yet. However, A lot of people are suffering from this tragedy and it's real cold and callused of you to try and turn this into a racial issue. Believe me this will way very heavy on these boys conscience! The guilt alone is something they will have to carry with them for the rest of their lives! Race is not what this is about...I feel deeply for everyone involved. May the lord be with them all through this very difficult time.

My sympathy goes out to the families that lost their loved ones. I understand the 2 men that are being blamed at hand but what about the parents that were throwing the Sweet 16 party? They should have set rules for these young kids. Parents need to be more involved in their kids life and talk to them. No one is perfect and accidents happen but kids do what they do because they are kids and they are mischevies. Kids know what alcohol is and what it can do to you. This is taught in school, they constantly remind kids about alcohol and drugs. The kids should have just said NO. No one forced them to do anything they didn't want to do. And if someone at the party knew they were intoxicated then they should of been a friend and took the keys away. Why weren't the parents calling the kids to see where they were at or checking on them? Every kid has a cellphone now a days. The parents throwing that party are at fault too.
Posted by: TO ROY on Sep 5, 2008 at 10:49 AM
OH GET OVER IT!! WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO PUT RACE IN THIS! THAT JUST GOES TO SHOW WHAT A PATHETIC PERSON YOU ARE! THERE ARE 3 KIDS DEAD OVER ALCOHOL, NOT A HATE CRIME!! ARE YOU THAT SMALL MINDED TO THINK THAT?? AND OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING CAUSE IT'S BRAZOS COUNTY THAT HANDLES THESE TRIALS...NOT BRYAN COURTS. IF YOU ARE THAT MISERABLE WITH YOURSELF GO MOVE OUT OF TOWN...THE COUNTY WOULD MISS A RACIST LIKE YOU ANYWAYS!!
Posted by: S on Sep 5, 2008 at 10:44 AM
This is sad not only will the parent's of Alex have to deal with the death of their daughter but to know that their son also played a part in it.I wonder if they ever said if their parents knew they were out that late?
Posted by: Hello?!? on Sep 5, 2008 at 10:39 AM
Ok, for all of you small minded people...if those kids wanted alcohol, they would have gotten it...they chose to drink...no one forced them to do it. I know that all of you who are making these negative comments are NOT perfect....it obviously shows in your comments. We've all made mistakes...some of us live through them and some of us don't...but don't get on here shooting off you mouths without looking in the mirror!!

IT MAYBE THE LEGISLATORS WHO DETERMINE THE MIN. AND MAX. SENT. BUT ITS UP TO THE COURTS [BRYAN PD]TO CHARGE THE PERSON WITH THE RIGHT CRIME. THEY CONTRIBUTED ALCOHOL TO MINORS AND CONTRIBUTED TO 3 DEATHS!!!! ARE U TELLING ME THAT BECAUSE IT WAS ALCOHOL AND NOT A GUN THAT KILLED THESE TEENS THAT THIS CHARGE IS SUFFICIENT WITH ONLY BEING CHARGED AS CONT. TO MINORS. IT DOESNT MATTER WHETHER IT WAS A GUN OR ALCOHOL. THEY BOTH PLAYED A BIG ROLE IN THESE 3 TEENS DEATH NOT JUST THEIR PARTYING. BRYAN PD HAS TO CHARGE THEM FOR THE RIGHT CRIME BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE TO BE ABLE TO GIVE THESE GUYS WHAT THEY DESERVE. POINT BEING IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT THE "WEAPON" IS A MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE SOUNDS MORE SUFFICIENT THAN ONLY CONT. TO MINORS!!!!

1st of all, Wayne isn't in Brazos Co. jail. KBTX should report that his father asked him to be sent to a different county to avoid looking like anything was not on the up and up. Bryan Eagle is reporting it, don't know why KBTX isn't.... Second, it doesn't matter what color you are, the law and sentence guidelines are set down before hand, not after they find out who commits the crime. If you don't like it contact your legislature or Rick Perry. The cops don't write the laws and judges don't have discretion on sentences, they have to stay within the parameters they are given. Don't any of y'all know how goverment works?! JEEZ! We need a TAKS for old people.

Whatever Roy! You need to get a life and quit feeling sorry for yourself! Race has nothing to do with this. It DOES NOT MAKE IT A FELONY based on race! You are ignorant and need to keep your pie hole shut!! This is sad and the punishment for this type of crime is not stiff enough! Wayne will possibly do time because of his record and Noey I haven't heard anything yet. There is not a "good ending" no matter what happens. Don't supply kids with alcohol!
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Bryan on Sep 5, 2008 at 10:16 AM
Funny these two will only get charged with a misdemeanor. A person I know got 75 years for selling drugs here in Bryan and to my knowledge no one died. Yes he was wrong for doing so BUT 75 years? What's the deal with the system? It's who your daddy is I guess?
Posted by: roy Location: bryan on Sep 5, 2008 at 09:49 AM
ITS SAD THE BENAVIDES FAMILY WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT THE PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THERE FAMILY MEMBERS DEATH AT MAX IN ONE YEAR.IF THIS WOULD OF BEEN A HISPANIC OR BLACK WHO BOUGHT THE ALCOHOL I PROMISE HE WOULD BE FACING A FELONY!!!! BUT LET RACIST BRYAN COURT SYSTEM BE A PART OF IT AND THE WHITE PEOPLE ALWAYS WALK AWAY WITH A SLAP ON THE WRIST!!!!!

I'm sorry but a son sitting in a jail that his father runs is paying for his crime? Seriously? I doubt he's learning a thing. It shocks me to think these kids went to a friend to buy their alcohol. When I was underage we just got a homeless man to go in and get our stuff. If he did it we'd give him $10 to buy his own.

this whole story is sad. what im wondering why was these men!!not boys were at sweet sixteen party, i know only one reason why they would be there,i think they should charge everyone that was there, too many kids are getting away with drinking,teenagers are not learning anything from all these stories, yes im even talking about kids in my county,or better yet, parents get together and have your own street patrol and catch some these kids and ticket these parents i bet these parents would watch their kids better, like i stated before in comments before you trust your kids but then you dont, always keep an eye on your kids, mine knows you never know when i will show up

To Anonymous with a message for Bryan PD - that is what the law says. If you have a problem you need to contact your state representative and voice your opinion. It is not the police who make the decision on the punishment, it is your elected legislators! Lucky for you, this year is a legislative session...so you get on it.
Posted by: Cindy Location: college station on Sep 5, 2008 at 08:36 AM
Why aren't the parents of these teens being held accountable? And did someone hold a gun to these teens heads and force them to drink and drive? What has happened to personal accountability in this world?
Posted by: Allison Location: CS on Sep 5, 2008 at 08:03 AM
Anonymous 10:57 - the cops don't classify crimes and they don't set minimum/maximum sentences - the legislature does. If you're not happy with it (which I would think we all aren't) then contact your representatives and try and get it changed.

>>>"I don't think the criminal charges is what will bother them. I think its living every day with what happened," said Darby.<<< Darby, Wayne obviously doesn't give a rodent's rump about what happened OR the criminal charges; the self centered jerk has already convinced himself that she made her own bed, and expects to skate with probation and sleeping through counseling like he's always done before. I agree with earlier comments; Up the charge to involuntary manslaughter and flag his file "No Parole". Even that might not make him realize the magnitude of his mistake, but at least it'll keep him from killing anyone else for a few years.

THIS IS A SHAME CHRIS JACKSON AND EBONY STEWART ARE IN JAIL ON A MILLION DOLLAR BOND FOR DRUGS THEY DID NOT KILL ANYONE THESE GUYS SHOULD RECEIVE A 5 MILLION DOLLAR BOND AND A HARSH JAIL SENTENCE.

You people are acting like this is the 1st time something like this has ever happened! I am not condoning what was done, however, the brother IS paying the price, and would be even if he weren't in jail! I believe that this young man has learned a very hard lesson! He has the rest of his life to think about it...in or out of jail! And to pick him up as he was leaving the funeral home?? Couldn't they have at least waited till they buried his sister? I am very sorry for the parents! They are the ones suffering the most at this time!

No MADD interview.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 4, 2008 at 11:27 PM
I had a feeling that this would be the case. It's a shame that this guy is so young and will have the blame of the deaths of 3 kids on his conscience. I hope that he can use this experience for good somehow. I also wondered about whether the police with charge him with manslaughter or something other than contribution. Ouch what a blow for these families. They need lots of prayers. Oh and the Plagens girl... clearly she's got issues of her own to contend with.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 4, 2008 at 10:57 PM
THIS MESSAGE IS FOR BRYAN PD. HOW ARE YOUNG ADULTS GOING TO REACT TO THIS KNOWING THEY CAN BUY ALCOHOL FOR SOMEONE AND CONTRIBUTE TO KILLING THREE PEOPLE AND GET A GOOD LAWYER AND AT MAX WALK AWAY WITH A YEAR JAIL.. IM NOT PERFECT AS FOR ME A REFORMED BCS DRUG DEALER I GOT 10YRS PRISON FOR SELLING DRUGS.. IT DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO SEE THESE GUYS DESERVE A HARSHER CHARGE FOR CONTRIBUTING TO 3 TEENS DEATH, NOT ALCOHOL!! IF I GOT 10 YRS FOR SELLING DRUGS AND NEVER KILLED ANYBODY, SOUNDS LIKE THEY NEED ATLEAST 10YRS!!!!
Posted by: Teresa Location: Iola on Sep 4, 2008 at 10:38 PM
Hey Thomas, yea, his soul is so "torn Up" that he didn't come forward and admit his guilt. This is at least involuntary manslaughter, and I hope he pays dearly in jail. Some big brother! No I dont feel sympathy for these parents who have no clue what their kids are doing. Harsh??? There are cold bodies in the ground now.
Posted by: Thomas Location: Bryan on Sep 4, 2008 at 10:36 PM
If found guilty, the men could each be fined up to $4,000, and spend up to a year in jail. JUSTICE SYSTEM AT IT'S FINEST. It's a shame this seems to only be a slap on the wrist
Posted by: Aggie12 Location: Walton Hall on Sep 4, 2008 at 10:15 PM
I still say that the Plagan girl needs to be charged as well. she was so sure that that no alcohol was being served at "her" party. I will pray for the family. This is no fun and games. All those out there that were upset that this guy was arrested at his sister's services, how do you feel now? This guy needs prayer and to be locked up.
Posted by: Jed Location: bryan on Sep 4, 2008 at 09:59 PM
TO Why Bother, his dad did help him, maybe if he would of arrested Jr when the warrants came out on him earlier this year he would of been sitting in jail instead of filling his sister with alcohol and racing a bunch of drunk teens.

The person who is looking at Jimmy Lewis Noey Jr. rap sheet needs to look at the differnt's in the Jr. and Sr. part of the name. Thank you
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Bryan on Sep 4, 2008 at 08:24 PM
who exactly was in charge of the minor girl while mother was gone? Charge her, too.
Posted by: Thomas Location: Bryan on Sep 4, 2008 at 08:23 PM
While the accident was a huge tragedy for the families, now maybe this will ease up their pain of loosing children. All the while, these boys need to face their sentences. Teresa from Iola, yes they need to be punished to the fullest extent but wishing for others to get the "needle" is a bit harsh. I'm sure the feelings that was going through the brothers mind will remain with him forever and that is enough to tear a soul up.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 4, 2008 at 07:58 PM
wow, an older brother that is supposed to love and protect killed his little sister. oh the horrible guilt he must have. my prayers go out to the families. lost a daughter to a tragic death and now a son who killed her.
Posted by: Man Location: Texas on Sep 4, 2008 at 07:14 PM
Sad, but not much of a surprise. I kind of had a hunch something like this would probably happen after all the problems this young man has had in the past. Wayne it is time to be a man and take responsibility for your actions. Same for Jimmy. Life has taught you two a very hard lesson. Take responsibility, accept your punishment and admit your wrong doing like a man.
Posted by: Tom Location: Bryan on Sep 4, 2008 at 06:53 PM
Fact of the matter is there are three young people dead as a result of someone not thinking...is this punishment enough? NO!!!
Posted by: Why bother? on Sep 4, 2008 at 06:15 PM
Daddy never helped him get out of anything. You have no idea what you are talking about. I've been on the frontline with this family and I do know what I'm talking about. Funny how ignorance shows.... Hey...how about all of you with negative, hateful comments just picture yourself losing a child, sister, someone special. Now, imagine ignorant people who have nothing better to do than get online and say things that THEY HAVE NO FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE OF.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 4, 2008 at 06:13 PM
That's crazy! I'm glad they found who really did it, but I heard from one of the party atendees that Plagens' mom and sister were the suppliers. I really am glad this can come to a close though, and settle some mixed emotions among alot of people.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 4, 2008 at 06:09 PM
Them kids shouldn't have been drinking. Terrible tragedy
Posted by: Kyle Location: Bryan on Sep 4, 2008 at 06:03 PM
Only a misdemeanor? It should be involuntary manslaughter or negligent homicide.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 4, 2008 at 05:32 PM
How sad for the Dickey family. Lost a daughter and now this. Its hard on the family. Shame these young adults don't use their heads. Wonder if any more will be arrested. Afterall, it wasn't their sweet 16 party.
Posted by: Candace Location: Flynn TX. on Sep 4, 2008 at 05:25 PM
I knew Gus and Dillion very well and i was very shocked when i heard about the wreck. I will be praying for the parents and close relitives. God bless.
Posted by: Tim Location: Bryan on Sep 4, 2008 at 05:04 PM
No surprise!
Posted by: Kat Location: CST on Sep 4, 2008 at 04:17 PM
When I first heard this story and heard there was an older brother I feared this would be the outcome. The Dickey family is in my prayers. They need a lot of strength right now! This is a very very sad incident indeed. Why didn't he come foward sooner? Shows poor judgement on his part. Also I heard he was behind them when the wreck happened..is this credible?
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 4, 2008 at 04:15 PM
How sad for brother to know he contributed to little sister's death.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 4, 2008 at 04:13 PM
hows daddy gonna help you on this one?
Posted by: mom of three Location: Bryan on Sep 4, 2008 at 04:10 PM
Ok all citizes of Brazos Co. who were upset about Dickey being arrested after the funeral,,,do you think he would have stuck around knowing this was coming? I don't think so!!!! Way to go BPD!
Posted by: Joe Location: B/CS on Sep 4, 2008 at 03:59 PM
Hummmm, who didn't see this coming (i.e. Dicky)?
Posted by: Grady Location: Bryan on Sep 4, 2008 at 03:57 PM
Now who was it who assured us that Alex's brother didn't supply the alcohol???
Posted by: Heather on Sep 4, 2008 at 03:36 PM
Not surprised! That is what I thought would happen. What a blow to the Dicky family though. My prayers are with the parents of them, because soon they'll be losing a son to the prison system not just a daughter to alcohol.
Posted by: Teresa Location: Iola on Sep 4, 2008 at 03:28 PM
Go get them sorry excuses for humans Bryan PD. Throw their worthless butts in jail and let the courts give them the needle. I hope they cant live with what they've done anyway. Make an example of them, I dont care how hard their mommys cry.
Posted by: theDoctor Location: Bryan on Sep 4, 2008 at 03:21 PM
Sad, but I figured it would be something like this.
