A 21-year-old Westminster man was convicted yesterday of homicide while intoxicated in the death of his 17-month-old son.

Robert Andrew Toms agreed to accept the prosecutor's version of what happened.

Circuit Judge Raymond E. Beck Sr. sentenced Toms to five years in prison and suspended all but 18 months.

Bryan Andrew Toms was pronounced dead at Carroll County General Hospital on Sept. 6, after a car went out of control on Bloom Road about 3 p.m., police said.
