KALISPELL, Mont. — Andrew Glenn Sullivan, 20, pleaded not guilty to a felony count of negligent homicide in Flathead County District Court on Thursday.
According to court documents, Sullivan was involved in a crash on Aug. 23 at the intersection of Mountain Meadow Road and Tally Lake Road while driving a gray Dodge Ram with three passengers. A Trooper reported finding the vehicle in the embankment with deployed airbags and significant passenger-side damage.
Upon arrival, the Trooper observed the body of a 17-year-old girl on the ground. Sullivan stated that the girl fainted in the backseat, distracting him from the road. He also mentioned a male passenger was panicking, further diverting his attention.
Sullivan denied speeding and using drugs or alcohol. However, the Trooper noted empty alcohol containers and a jar of marijuana inside the vehicle, along with a bottle of vodka in the backseat. Evidence indicated that the girl was partially outside the vehicle prior to the crash and sustained severe injuries.
A preliminary breath test administered to Sullivan resulted in a blood alcohol level of 0.057. He was transported to Logan Health for further testing. Sullivan had a previous DUI citation in May, for which he pleaded guilty, and was sentenced on Aug. 18. He was also cited for leaving the scene of an accident in June.
Sullivan's pre-trial hearing is scheduled for January 2026, with a jury trial set to commence in March.
