Coban Porter, the younger brother of Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter and Jontay Porter, has been sentenced to six years in prison for killing a 42-year-old woman in a drunken driving crash last year. Porter, who was a sophomore playing basketball for the University of Denver at the time of his arrest, pleaded guilty to DUI vehicular homicide and vehicular assault.
The incident occurred on January 22 just before 2 a.m. when Porter, driving around 50 mph, ran a red light at South University Boulevard and crashed his vehicle into Katharina Rothman's car. The crash resulted in the death of Rothman and serious injuries to her 47-year-old passenger, Jason Branch.
