In addition to the murder charge, he is also charged with speeding 14 mph over the limit, no operator’s license, first-degree operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol — aggravating circumstance, failure to give oncoming vehicle half the highway and reckless driving.
Entzin was taken to the Fayette County Detention Center, state police said.
