Fenton is being sued by the passenger of a truck that was found in a ditch on May 22, 2016, on Goldstream Heights Drive, located northwest of Victoria. The passenger claims Fenton was speeding and driving under the influence when he hit the truck, causing it to go into the ditch.

The passenger says she suffered serious injuries in the crash.

Fenton has a history of driving infractions, including an impaired driving charge in 2010.

He remains free on bail.

The claims have not been proven in court.
