'Pulp Fiction' Writer Gets Time for Fatal Crash

Pulp Fiction Writer Roger AvaryThe guy who co-wrote "Pulp Fiction" with Quentin Tarantino will have plenty of alone time to think of his next script -- he just landed time behind bars over his fatal DUI crash last year.

Roger Avary -- who landed an Oscar for the script -- was sentenced yesterday in Ventura County, CA to one year behind bars.

Avary pled guilty in August to gross vehicular manslaughter and DUI -- after a passenger in his Mercedes died when he wrapped his car around a telephone pole in Ventura County in 2008.

Cops say his car was traveling more than 100 MPH.

Avary -- who also co-wrote "Beowulf" and directed "The Rules of Attraction" -- also got five years probation.

Lane Garrison -- A Free Man

Lane GarrisonLane Garrison, who was serving prison time for a drunk driving crash that caused the death of 17-year-old Vahagn Setian, was released early this morning.

Garrison, who only served about half of his 40 month sentence for vehicular manslaughter, was granted early release because he had earned enough "good-behavior credits."

The former "Prison Break" star must now report to an in-patient rehab center.
