Albertville Man Charged with Manslaughter

A 20  Albertville man is being held on $1 million bond after being charged Wednesday with manslaughter and assault stemming from a July wreck that claimed the lives of four people and injured three others.  Adrian Michael Renteria, was charged with four counts of manslaughter and three counts of second-degree assault after he was indicted by a Marshall County grand jury.  Renteria originally was charged with lying to investigators about the wreck because his account of the crash did not match evidence found during the investigation. He was charged with making a false report and obstructing government operations.  It was determined through the investigation that he was driving the pickup that wrecked July 14 on U.S. Highway 431, north of Guntersville.  Renteria was served with the warrants by troopers from the Alabama Department of Public Safety’s traffic homicide unit, according to a news release on behalf of Marshall County District Attorney Steve Marshall.  State troopers at the time of the wreck said nine people were riding in the pickup that flipped and caught fire. Four people ranging in age from 13 to 21 were killed.
