-A Dorchester man entered a plea in Taylor County Court for charges against him from an accident that killed a Greenwood man.According to court records, back in 2017, Gerald Baker left a party after drinking several beers and drove away. He didn’t know that 24-year-old Ben Gosar was sleeping in the box of the truck. Baker hit the gas hard, lost control of the truck and crashed. Gosar died in a Madison hospital six days later.
During his court appearance on Monday, Baker was found guilty of, due to a no contest plea, resisting or obstructing an officer and knowingly operating while revoked. Two other charges were dismissed and read in. A pre-sentencing investigation was ordered and he’s scheduled for sentencing on August 27th.
