Vigo County Prosecutor Terry Modesitt said Friday a plea agreement was offered to Derickson, but the deal has not yet been signed by all those involved.

Derickson is currently scheduled to go on trial March 19 on charges of reckless homicide, two counts of criminal recklessness and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
