Early on a December morning nearly two years ago, Robert Allen Atwood decided he was going to show his friend what his 1995 Camaro could do.
He pressed the gas pedal and got the sports car going at least 70 mph on one of St. Elmo’s side streets.
Atwood and his passenger, James Michael Travillian, had been drinking.
Atwood lost control of the car, crossed Tennessee Avenue, ran off the road, hit a fence, three trees and two parked cars before striking a house.
