The former Braden River High football coach convicted of DUI manslaughter will have his prison sentence substantially reduced. Governor Rick Scott and the Cabinet reduced the prison term of 38-year-old Josh Hunter, who was previously sentenced to ten years in prison. Hunter, who will have been in Avon Park Correctional Institution for three years as of June 27th, is to instead serve seven years behind bars. He’ll be released in June 2019. On March 1, 2009, Doug Garrity, one of Hunter’s assistant football coaches, died when a pickup truck flipped while negotiating a turn on State Road 681 in Nokomis. Florida Highway Patrol says Hunter was driving and had a blood alcohol content of .021, three times the legal limit.
