Ex-Kirtland airman pleads guilty in DWI case

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A former Kirtland Air Force Base airman accused of killing two people in what police say was a drunken driving crash has pleaded guilty to two charges of vehicular homicide.

Micah Henry, 24, entered his pleas Wednesday.

He will be sentenced in March. He faces up to 12 years in prison for the 2008 New Year’s crash.

Police have said Henry was driving a sport utility vehicle that ran a red light at an Albuquerque intersection and plowed into a pickup truck. The two people in the truck — Marvin Garcia, 44, of Santa Fe and his girlfriend, Josephine Laweka, 47, of Cochiti Pueblo — were killed.

Investigators later determined Henry's blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit for presumed intoxication.
