RICHMOND HILL - A Bryan County inmate temporarily released to be treated for a spider bite has returned to the Southeast Probation Detention Center in Claxton to continue serving his 30-month sentence.
Jack Barfield IV, 20, was convicted March 14 on all charges stemming from a wreck on April 25, 2005, that killed Ginger Reagin and her son Garrett, 5.
Barfield was released from the detention center May 17 by court order to seek treatment from Dr. Anthony Sussman of the Savannah Vascular Institute. He was twice granted extensions for additional treatment, but he was to return to custody Wednesday.
"He surrendered to the Bryan County Sheriff's Department on June 20," Barfield's attorney, Lloyd Murray, said Friday. "His condition had improved to the point that remaining outside for treatment was no longer necessary."
Barfield and his girlfriend, Emily Mosely, were racing each other on U.S. 80, court records show, when Barfield's Chevy Tahoe swerved into the oncoming lane and slammed head-on into Reagin's vehicle.
Mosely, 19, pleaded no contest June 14 to six charges resulting from her involvement in the wreck - two misdemeanor charges of homicide by vehicle in the second degree, misdemeanor serious injury by vehicle, reckless driving, speeding and speeding in a construction zone.
As a result of the plea, Mosely will serve three years on probation, will complete 100 hours of community service and will lose her driving privileges for three years.
The time Barfield spent outside the detention center to seek medical treatment did not count as timed served on his sentence.
