SPOKANE, Wash. – A Spokane Valley man was sentenced to 12 years in prison for a
34-year-old Jesse J. Roullier pled guilty two counts of vehicular homicide and one count of vehicular assault.
On July 13, 2024, Roullier was driving northbound on State Route 27 near Rockford when he crossed the center line and hit an oncoming car carrying three Lewis and Clark students head-on, according to a press release from the Spokane County Prosecutor’s Office.
