RALEIGH -- State alcohol agents have arrested a young man on charges that he bought the alcohol that a group of teenagers were drinking the night of the crash that killed a 17-year-old Millbrook High School student Jan. 7.

Anthony Du Juan Geter, who turned 21 less than a month ago, was arrested by N.C. Alcohol Law Enforcement agents on Friday night and booked into the Wake County Jail. He was charged with two counts of aiding and abetting an underage person possess alcohol.

Elizabeth Molloy was killed in the 2:15 a.m. crash of a Jeep SUV driven by Garrett Prince, 16, when it went off the road in the 7200 block of Rainwater Drive and hit a tree.

Prince was charged with driving while impaired, provisional driving while impaired, felony death by motor vehicle, careless and reckless driving, speeding, having an open container of spirituous liquore in the vehicle and possession of marijuana.

Agents say Geter bought two 1.75-liter bottles of Bacardi Dragon Berry rum at an ABC store on Sandy Forks Road in North Raleigh the evening of Jan. 6. He is accused of giving some of it to Molloy and Prince, and he is also charged with two counts of providing alcohol to two other underage girls who were not involved in the wreck.

Geter, of 7104 Sandy Forks Road Apt. 3A, was released on $4,000 bond pending a court appearance March 14.

The ALE is still investigating and expects to file more charges, according to a statement the agency released today.
