On Monday, Dec. 21, Ian McGrath, 23, of Worcester, pled not guilty to charges of committing motor vehicle homicide while drunk, committing manslaughter while drunk, and manslaughter, according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.

McGrath was allegedly served a dozen drinks at the now-closed Blarney Stone on Maywood Street in Worcester before driving his mother’s car into two parked vehicles and a pedestrian on Nov. 27, 2019.

The crash killed Devalter M. Rocha, 54, of Framingham, who was in a crosswalk, walking home from work when he was struck by a vehicle at the intersection of May and Chandler streets and dragged across the road.

Worcester revoked the Blarney Stone’s license to operate in March.
