Family: Glynn County teen killed in suspected DUI crash was 'the most polite, loving'

Family says the 15-year-old killed in a hit-and-run crash in Glynn County was loving and kind.

Jacob Butts was a Junior ROTC student at Glynn Academy,  and close with his young brother and sister.

Family says he was riding his skateboard home on Sunday night when he was hit by a suspected drunk driver.

"His family is crushed in dealing with such a great loss of the most polite, loving, kind, and giving 15 year old young man," his aunt wrote in a GoFundMe for his funeral costs.

Police found Jacob's body around 6:45 a.m. Monday at Lakes Drive near Baumgardner Road in Brunswick.

Police said 21-year-old Madisyn Culpepper was arrested the night before, after she was involved in a crash at Baumgardner Road and U.S. Highway 82, just half a mile from where Jacob was found.
