A repeat drunken driver without a license received jail time for being intoxicated when he lost control of his car on a Maplewood highway and killed his passenger who was visiting from California to attend a funeral. Chue A. Yang, 59, of Maplewood, was sentenced in Ramsey County District Court last week to 90 days in jail after pleading guilty in July to criminal vehicular homicide in connection with the collision on Dec. 10, 2021, that killed his passenger, Tou Moua, 52, of Fresno. Judge Timothy Carey departed from state sentencing guidelines and set aside a four-year term that would have sent Yang to prison.
