GREGG COUNTY — A man who was facing a felony DWI charge when he crashed into a couple, killing the husband, pleaded guilty Monday to manslaughter and aggravated assault arising from the February 2010 wreck. According to the Longview News-Journal, the two eight-year terms handed to Benjamin Chase Capps, 31, will run at the same time, and at the same time as the 20-year sentence he is now serving for an unrelated driving while intoxicated conviction. Since 1999, Capps has been found guilty of numerous felonies, including vehicle burglary, theft, assault and DWI-third or greater. He still has at least one drug possession charge pending.
