Suspect pleads guilty to murder in Talladega County


Justin Earl Wayne Cummings

Talladega Circuit Judge Bo Hollingsworth accepted a guilty plea Tuesday for reckless murder and sentenced 33 year old Justin Earl Wayne Cummings to 20 years in prison.
Cummings entered his guilty plea Tuesday afternoon. The charges against him stem from an incident in Sylacauga on Oct. 28, 2012.
According to District Attorney Steve Giddens, Cummings was driving drunk when he was stopped by Sylacauga police. He ended up fleeing from the stop and eventually turning out his headlights to make himself harder to see at night.
He crossed the center line and struck a second vehicle head on, killing another person.
