EVERSON, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – The Sedro-Woolley man who killed a child in an Everson DUI crash last year has been sentenced.

31-year-old Tyler Higdon will spend the next 10 years behind bars following a hearing on the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 22.

Following his sentence, he will be placed in community custody for a year and a half.
