A drunk driver who killed a woman while driving the wrong way on an Alabama highway three years ago was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison — and may be locked up for 17 more years if she violates probation, prosecutors said.

Andrea Stacy pleaded guilty Wednesday to a charge of manslaughter in the death of Brittanie Ferguson, who died en route to the hospital after her vehicle was struck on Dec. 23, 2021, in Enterprise, said 12th Circuit District Attorney James Tarbox.

As part of a plea deal, Stacy was sentenced to 20 years in prison, but the sentence was split for Stacy to serve three years followed by five years of supervised probation. The remaining 17 years on Stacy’s sentence was suspended, but she would have to return to prison if she violates probation.

Stacy was driving in the wrong lane of Highway 27 in Enterprise when she struck Ferguson’s vehicle, evidence in the case showed, according to Tarbox.

Stacy smelled of alcohol and was seen holding a wine bottle when she was removed from her vehicle.

Tests showed she had a blood alcohol content of .212, or about three times the legal limit.

“Today’s outcome will not bring Brittanie Ferguson back, but it should serve as a reminder to anyone who may drink and drive that there are consequences for your actions,” Tarbox said in a statement. “In this case, Brittanie Ferguson and her family have paid the ultimate price for Defendant Stacy’s actions. After being released from custody, Defendant Stacy will have to abide by the terms and conditions of probation or risk having to serve another 17 years in prison.”
