A Bremerton man is being charged with vehicular homicide after striking a bicyclist on his way home while under the influence of alcohol.

The 36-year-old man was in Kitsap County Superior Court Aug. 11. He faces life in prison and a $50,000 fine. Bail was $500,000.

Court documents say Kitsap deputies arrested the man Aug. 8 at 10:29 p.m. in the 5000 block of Illahee Road NE near Bremerton.

Deputies responded to a report of a collision. On scene, the suspect blew a .204 on a breath test. That is over twice the legal limit for driving under the influence, which is .08. He also failed field sobriety tests. He had a strong odor of alcohol and stumbled when he walked.

The suspect said he saw a pedestrian in the middle of the lane and swerved to miss him, but it was too late. The victim died on the way to St. Michael Medical Center in Silverdale.

The suspect had other arrests for DUI over 10 years ago.
