RANDY BURRIS




Randy Burris died a hero, saving the lives of a young mother and her baby, as Randy pushed Heather Carlson's baby carriage from the path of a car careening out of control. A resident of Clarke County Georgia, Randy was the father of three children and had struck up a conversation with Heather about her dog. The murderous car was driven by a drunk illegal alien, Ricardo Arriaga-Gutierrez, whose blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit even several hours after the accident. After running Randy Burris down, Arriaga-Gutierrez fled the scene, hid the car in another county and went to a party to establish an alibi. Midway into the case, the prosecutor requested that bail be revoked because of the flight risk to Mexico, and the judge complied. Arriaga-Gutierrez must serve at least 90 percent of his 15-year sentence for vehicular homicide under current state guidelines, plus three years for leaving the scene of the accident and driving without a license. He is legally required to be deported at the time of his release.

I went to high school with Randy. He was post-humously awarded the Carnegie Hero medal. Hopefully Sennior Ricardo Arriaga-Gutierrez will get his reward in prison before his release.

Randall Kent Burris's distant cousin Owen P. Dyar was a pallbearer to the funeral of John Irick, and believe it or not, John Irick is the distant cousin of Samuel Kent Irick, yet another hero!
