FARMINGTON — A Carthage man’s sentencing on a misdemeanor charge of furnishing liquor to a minor, who died later in a car crash, was put on hold Friday in Franklin County Superior Court after the justice said she needed more information.

In an agreement with the state, David Pulk, 27, pleaded guilty to sharing liquor with Angela Bordeau, 19, on the evening of June 15. Shortly after midnight, Bordeau was in a car accident on Route 142 in Carthage that claimed her life.

Pulk purchased and shared vodka with her shortly after 6 p.m. that night, then acquired a couple bottles of homemade wine which he shared with Bordeau and others between 7 and 8 p.m., Assistant District Attorney James Andrews told the court. They then went to a friend’s home where there was more drinking. Bordeau left just before 11 p.m. to meet her boyfriend. They spent some time together then she started to drive home and crashed at 12:10 a.m. Bordeau had a blood alcohol level of 0.12 percent, he said. The legal limit is 0.08 percent.

Pulk’s attorney, David Sanders, disagreed with Andrews’ statements. He said his client provided about one ounce of vodka for Bordeau’s soda and that she didn’t like the taste of the wine and didn’t drink it.

Considering Bordeau’s speed, reportedly 62 in a 45 mph zone, and whether she had obtained liquor from others also, the state decided not to pursue a felony charge at this time, Andrews said. He said he did want to see a long sentence for Pulk.

Sanders presented photos that raised questions as to whether Bordeau may have been texting shortly before the crash and had bald tires on her vehicle. He also presented an affidavit from a boyfriend received this week that said he shared three beers with her shortly before the crash. Sanders wanted the charge dismissed.

After talking with Andrews and Sanders, Justice Michaela Murphy told family members she didn’t have enough information to make the best decision. She wanted to hear sworn testimony from those who were there that night and not just the statements represented by the two lawyers.

“I’m not comfortable with the information presented today,” she said.

She assured family members, looking for closure, that it would be resolved in February.

Members of Bordeau’s family tearfully told the justice of the pain caused from the loss and asked her to make Pulk responsible for his actions.

“A part of me died,” Sherri Jamison, Bordeau’s mother told the court. “She’s gone from our lives forever.”

Jamison asked for a maximum sentence for Pulk because his family gets him back.

“We don’t get to see her or hug her,” she said.
