Garrison lived with the Simpson family for a year. He graduated from J.J. Pearce High School in 1998, and at eighteen, he drove to Los Angeles with ambitions to become an actor.

Then-26-year-old Garrison met Setian and the girls outside a liquor store then attended a high school party with them before jumping a curb and driving into a tree in Beverly Hills.^[2] He had cocaine in his system and his blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit in California.^[3] He was sentenced to 40 months in jail on October 31, 2007.
