A Reno man faces up to 20 years in prison after being convicted of a DUI crash.  36-year-old Shonnon Forrest McNatt will be sentenced in January 2017.  McNatt was charged after a crash April 22, 2015. Reno Police say a pedestrian was hit by a driver in a white Audi headed east on Silver Lake Boulevard near Dandelion. The victim sustained a broken collar bone and shoulder blade.  Police say McNatt was arrested after failing several field sobriety tests.  The defense said that the collision was caused by a blown tire, but the prosecutor argued the blown tire resulted from the collision itself, and before the crash, McNatt had driven the car onto a curb, driving on the sidewalk and hitting a road sign. Police say McNatt’s blood alcohol level was a 0.219 and 0.203 within two hours of the collision.
