Aug. 3 2007, Published 6:00 a.m. ET
Despite Lane Garrison's ëPrison Break' on Thursday - when a judge ordered a psychiatric evaluation instead of invoking a sentence - the actor could still end up doing hard time for his fatal December 2006 car accident.Superior Court Judge Eldon Fox sent Garrison to state prison for a 90-day diagnostic psychiatric evaluation, and instructed him to return to court on Oct. 31, when it will be determined whether he's a good candidate for state prison or probation. 'He could still do up to a year in jail as part of the probation,' Garrison's lawyer, Harland Braun, told OK!. If Judge Fox decides against probation, the 27-year-old could face anywhere from 18 months to five years or more behind bars. Garrison, who played Tweener on the FOX serial, is currently in county jail, awaiting transportation to the state prison.In May, Garrison pleaded guilty to one felony count of vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence and one felony count of driving under the influence causing injury to multiple victims. He also admitted to causing great bodily injury and death and driving with a blood alcohol level of more than 0.15 percent. The crash killed 17-year-old Vahagn Setian and injured two other teenage passengers.In an interview with People magazine, Garrison said he was a troubled teenager who turned his life around. After his arrest, he moved in with his family's minister, Joe Simpson, the father of Jessica Simpson.By Courtney HazlettPhoto: Wireimage.com
