LeFlore Co. District Attorney Seeks Higher Bond For Man Accused Of Driving Drunk, Killing 4-Year-Old Boy

The LeFlore County district attorney wants a higher bond for a man accused of driving drunk and killing a four-year-old boy.

LeFlore County district attorney Kevin Merritt says in his filing that the suspect, 18-year-old Miguel Reyes, could escape to Mexico if he gets out of jail.

Reyes is charged with first-degree manslaughter, drunk driving, and reckless driving.

Investigators say Reyes was drunk driving a car along Highway 270 and 250th Avenue on April 14th when troopers say he drove through a family’s backyard, hitting and killing a four-year-old boy who was playing outside.

The family has identified the child as Josh Janway.

Family members say Josh was a happy and energetic child who loved playing with monster trucks, race cars and dinosaurs.

Reyes’ bond hearing is set for Monday morning.
