On August 26, 2016 Lantz pled guilty to the following charge:

Involuntary Manslaughter – a felony of the 1st degree

On November 19, 2015, Lantz physically assaulted 63-year-old Daniel Carraway at Desiree's in Norton. After they were kicked out of the bar, Lantz again attacked Carraway in the parking lot. Police arrived and found Carraway unresponsive. Carraway was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

"Daniel Carraway did not deserve to be brutally beaten and bludgeoned to death. His family continues to suffer because of the actions of Mr. Lantz," said Prosecutor Walsh. "Mr. Lantz will have eight years in prison to think about how his aggressive and violent behavior led to the death of a Marine veteran who served his country with honor."
