Passenger Loses Arm In Suspected Marijuana DUI Crash Near Graton

SONOMA COUNTY, CA — A Forestville man who was arrested for an alleged drug-related DUI crash Monday that critically injured his passenger was released from the Sonoma County Jail on Wednesday. The Sonoma County District Attorney's Office is waiting for the California Highway Patrol to finish its investigation of the solo-vehicle crash on Mill Station Road south of Occidental Road near Graton.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Brian Staebell said the driver, Thomas Henney, 21, is scheduled to return to Sonoma County Superior Court on Feb. 28 when charges will be filed or the case will be discharged.

Henney was driving a Buick LeSabre around 1:40 p.m. when it struck an embankment, overturned and landed on its wheels. A passenger in the Buick, Amanda Odeen, 18, of Sebastopol, was partially ejected from the vehicle.

Odeen lost an arm in the crash, according to the CHP.

Odeen was listed in stable condition today at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.

Henney said he swerved to avoid hitting a bicyclist. He showed signs of marijuana impairment, and said he had used marijuana and was currently taking a prescription drug, CHP Officer Jon Sloat said.

Henney was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs, Sloat said.
