Sheriff: Mom’s boyfriend put 5-year-old out of car for ‘being unruly’ before he was hit, killed...

"Taylor says that Starr, who is an active duty soldier at Fort Benning, will be charged with reckless murder. Starr turned himself in to the Russell County Sheriff’s Office.

Ft. Benning officials say Starr is a Sergeant First Class assigned to 3rd Squadron, 16th Cavalry Regiment, 316th Cavalry Brigade and has a total of 17 years of service."

"According to Taylor, 35-year-old Bryan Starr was driving a car when 5-year-old Austin Birdseye began “being unruly” inside the vehicle, so he pulled over and told the boy to get out of the car. He then reportedly stated that he lost view of him in the rain."

"Taylor says at that point, Austin wandered onto the busy Hwy. 165 near County Rd. 24, where he was struck by another vehicle and killed."
