State law enforcement agents made an arrest Friday night in connection with the wreck that killed 17-year-old Millbrook High School junior Elizabeth Molloy two weeks ago.

Anthony Du Juan Geter, 21, of 7101 Sandy Forks Road Apt. 3A, has been charged with purchasing alcohol for Garrett Prince on the night he lost control of his 1999 Jeep and wrecked on Rainwater Road. 

According to his arrest warrant, Geter purchased a 1.75-liter bottle of Bacardi Dragon Berry flavored rum from a Wake County ABC store on Sandy Forks Road with money given to him by Prince and Molloy. 

Molloy, the passenger in Prince's vehicle, died as a result of injuries she sustained in the Jan. 7 wreck. 

Prince, of 11004 Coachmans Way, was charged with felony death by motor vehicle, driving while impaired, provisional DWI, careless and reckless driving, having an open container of liquor, speeding and possession of marijuana. 

Witnesses said they smelled a strong odor of alcohol coming from Prince's Jeep, according to an arrest warrant, and officers found marijuana and open containers of wine in the vehicle.

A wreck report states that the Jeep was traveling 75 mph in a 30-mph zone when it crashed into a tree on Rainwater Road.

Several sources told WRAL News that the teens were at a party with other Millbrook High students on Friday night before the crash.

If convicted under North Carolina law, Geter could face a fine of as much as $1,000 and be sentenced to up to 150 hours of community service. He could also be held liable in civil court for a death that resulted from his actions.

Hope it was worth it to him to be "popular". Some people never graduate high school.

The people at the ABC store should be fired for selling the booze to someone they should have known was buying it for someone else.

Just as it is illegal to buy alcohol for kids,Kids(that think they are grow) know that its illegal for them to have it!

This is all a terrible tragedy that is too often repeated, but in all of the haste to lay blame we seem to have forgotten the parents who apparently see nothing wrong with high school-aged children being out at two in the morning. Then there is young miss Molloy, who is as guilty as anyone. She chose to make poor decisions and be involved in a dangerous situation. Tragic - yes. The waste of a young life and the ruin of another - yes. But everyone involved is responsible for their own decisions and actions.
