A 28-year-old man pleaded guilty Thursday to an alcohol-fueled rollover crash on the 241 Freeway that injured two passengers and was immediately sentenced to four months in jail.

Anton Falcon-Prarie Fortain pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury and driving with a blood-alcohol content over the legal limit of .08% causing injury, both misdemeanors. As part of the plea deal, felony counts were reduced to misdemeanors and sentencing enhancements for inflicting great bodily injury on the victims were dismissed.
