State police say they will be filing charges today against a 21-year-old Butler County man for supplying alcohol to four underage friends the October night that two were killed in a high-speed crash in Muddy Creek Township.

Later on the night of Oct. 14, Corey Jones, 18, of Slippery Rock lost control of his car on Route 488 and slammed into a utility pole. He and Aaron J. Rensel, 18, of Portersville, a passenger, died at the scene.
Two other passengers, Kirk J. Hines, 20, and Justin M. Angerett, 18, both of Franklin Township, were flown to Pittsburgh hospitals and treated for serious injuries.
