COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4)- The woman convicted of dragging a tow truck driver to his death in 2011 will no longer be released early from prison. The early release for Detra Farries has been denied.
Farries had been accepted into a community corrections program in Arapahoe County after serving seven-and-a-half years of her 20-year sentence. Now it looks like that will no longer happen.
A Colorado Springs jury convicted Farries of vehicular homicide and other charges in the 2011 death of Allen Lew Rose.

Farries' attorneys insisted that she didn't realize Rose was being dragged.
