A Bend man was in the Deschutes County jail Monday, facing a manslaughter charge for allegedly drinking before a fatal rollover crash in September.

Bryce Tanner Lupton, 24, was arrested by Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office personnel on Saturday, according to an online jail roster.

He is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in the Deschutes County Circuit Court on charges of first-degree manslaughter, second-degree assault and driving under the influence of intoxicants, Deschutes County District Attorney Steve Gunnels said Monday.

The charges stem from a crash that killed Jacobic Lee Barnhill, 23, of La Pine.

Lupton was driving Barnhill and a 22-year-old woman in a 2012 Ford Focus when the vehicle left the road and crashed near the intersection of SE 15th Street and Bear Creek Road in Bend at around 11:42 p.m. on Sept. 23, Bend Police said in a news release at the time.

Emergency personnel responded and removed Lupton and the 22-year-old woman from the car and took them to St. Charles Bend for treatment.

Police have not released her name but said in September that she’s from Redmond.

Bend Police believe speed and alcohol contributed to the crash, Lt. Brian Beekman said in a news release at the time.

Gunnels did not know where Lupton was arrested and a sheriff’s office spokesman could not be immediately reached by phone.

Lupton was booked in the Deschutes County jail at 6:32 p.m. on Saturday. His bond is $150,000, according to the jail’s website.

In 2018, Lupton pleaded no contest to a violation of “careless driving contributing to an accident” and was fined $250.

Lupton’s is the latest of several cases involving a person accused of killing someone while driving drunk.

In January 2023, a Jefferson County jury found Brandon Kern, 31, of La Pine, guilty of manslaughter stemming from a 2020 drunken driving crash on U.S. Highway 97 near Terrebonne that killed one woman and seriously injured two people.

In June 2023, Flynn Lovejoy, 22, pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide in a drunken driving crash on the Cascade Lakes Highway near Seventh Mountain Resort that killed a cyclist.

In December 2023, Jesse Carl Ross, 43, was charged with four counts of manslaughter after he allegedly drank alcohol before causing a crash on U.S. Highway 97 north of Redmond that killed four members of a single family in mid-October.

Earlier this month, Audrey Cooper McHugh, 30, pleaded no contest to three counts of manslaughter in a drunken driving crash that killed two Warm Springs teens and their aunt on U.S. Highway 26 north of Madras.
