A former Woodstock woman faces a homicide by drunken driving charge following a Sunday morning crash in central Wisconsin that killed 51-year-old Daniel Wetzel of Lanark, Wis., according to the Northwest Herald.
Police said Hanna M. Schact, 23, currently of Portgage, Wis., was driving with a blood alcohol level nearly twice the legal limit when the crash happened at 10:20 a.m. in Lanark, according to the Northwest Herald.
Schact was charged in 2012 with failing to report an accident after she drove a getaway car with a friend who tried to steal marijuana from a drug dealer who was on top of the roof of the car when she fled the scene, according to the Wausau Daily Herald. The man fell off the roof, hit his head and later died, according to the article.
Schact is being held on a $100,000 bond and is next expected in court on Sept. 30, according to WSAW.com.
