He was sentenced to 12 years in prison but was released in 2020 after seven years.
LeBeau released a statement after being hired.
He said in part, "I am humbled that Immanuel has afforded and trusted me with an opportunity to serve our youth after such a devastating and tragic accident. That experience had an immense impact on my life. I have grown in my relationship with Jesus and have a deeper understanding of His grace, forgiveness, and redemption."
