Dominic J. Blevins, 18, of Galena, Kan., has been charged with one count of involuntary manslaughter in Newton County in connection with the death of Kevyn Morang, 16, in a one-car crash on Coyote Road in January. Blevins was the driver in the fatal crash and is accused of running the vehicle off the road and through a guard-rail.

The state trooper who investigated the accident said he had "concerns that he (Blevins) was huffing spray paint while operating a motor vehicle" and obtained blood and urine samples from Blevins with the latter's consent, according to the probable cause affidavit. The samples have been sent to the Missouri State Highway Patrol's crime lab for analysis.

The charges brought by the Newton County Prosecutor's office, however, make no mention of spray paint. A pre-trial conference in Blevins' case has been set for 9 a.m. May 20 in Newton County Associate Court.
