JEFFERSON COUNTY - The Jefferson County grand jury has indicted a woman for a collision that killed a man on his anniversary.

Tanjia Colleen Chandler, 46, of Port Arthur, is charged with Intoxication Manslaughter for a fatal accident July 19 on Highway 365 in Port Arthur.

Chandler crashed into a vehicle driven by 55-year-old Dudley Butaud of Groves.

Butaud died on his 30th wedding anniversary.

He was driving home after helping the couple's son with car problems.

His wife has told KFDM News she "prays that justice will be served."

She told us regardless of what happens to Chandler "it won't fix what she did" to Butaud's family.

If convicted, Chandler could face up to 20 years in prison.
