‘Midnight Rider‘ director Randall Miller and producers Jody Savin turned themselves in to police Sunday in Georgia following their July 3 grand jury indictments regarding the death of camera assistant Sarah Jones.
The couple posted bail and were released, a Wayne County Sheriff‘s Department according to Deadline.
If convicted, a manslaughter conviction would carry a sentence of 10 years in prison. Criminal trespass is a misdemeanor and carries a sentence of one year.
Miller, Savin, and executive producer/unit production manager Jay Sedrish were all charged with involuntary manslaughter and criminal trespassing by the Wayne Country justice system after a long investigation.
Sarah Jones was killed in Jesup, Georgia on February 20 when she was hit by a freight train while filming the Gregg Allman biopic.
Several other crew members were also injured in the accident. The film’s crew members were also on the train tracks.
