An Eagle Lake man, Deleon Deshawn Perkins, is back in Wharton County Jail for allegedly causing a fatal accident while driving drunk. This incident occurred two years ago. Perkins was reportedly drunk when he ignored a stop sign and collided with another vehicle, an Acura, at the intersection of East Caney and North East Avenue. The Acura’s driver, Christopher Watley, and passenger, Megan Sandberg, tragically lost their lives in the accident. Perkins was injured, treated at Oak Bend Medical Center, and then taken to the county jail. He later posted a $30,000 bond and was released on the same day.
