UPSHUR COUNTY — A Gilmer man receives 10 years deferred adjudication for a manslaughter charge stemming from a “road rage,” incident. If 20-year-old Benjamin Lee Powers, completes the probation, the charge will not appear on his record. According to the Longview News-Journal, Powers was charged with manslaughter in connection to a Dec. 30 wreck that killed the passenger in his vehicle, 19-year-old Caderrius Green, also from Gilmer. Officials said Powers wrecked his vehicle after attempting to aggressively pass a truck. Green was ejected and ran over by another truck.
