Man who drove car into Gaston Co. restaurant, killing family members pleads guilty

He entered a guilty plea under the Alford plea, which essentially means he pleads guilty without specifically admitting to the guilt itself.

Roger Self, who was previously charged with two counts of first-degree murder charges, was later served with two counts of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury charges. Those charges relate to Self’s wife Diane and son, Josh.
