Beverly Hills police say "Prison Break" actor Lane Garrison should be charged with gross vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs for a solo car crash that killed a 17-year-old passenger.
Two others were injured in the Dec. 2 crash. Vahagn Setian, 17, died after being taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Police Chief David Snowden says investigators have also asked county prosecutors to charge Garrison with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Investigators recommended that the DUI allegation carry the enhancement of having a blood-alcohol level of .15 percent or more. An adult driver in California is legally at the point of intoxication at .08 percent.
Garrison, a Dallas native, plays "Tweener" on the Fox drama series "Prison Break."
